Summary
Two male teens were arrested after Marine veteran Jheyco Borda fought off an attempted carjacking in Oxon Hill, Maryland, where he said six teens confronted him while he worked on his pickup.
Surveillance video shows one teen pointing a gun at Borda's face and demanding his keys, phone and valuables before Borda wrestled the suspect to the ground.
A shot fired during the struggle went through the back of Borda's truck, but no one was hit; Borda said his Marine training and his brother's intervention helped stop the attack.
Prince George's County police said they are still investigating the other four teens' roles in the broad-daylight assault.
Borda said a similar vehicle theft happened at the same spot about two years ago, underscoring recurring crime concerns on his street.
