man pulls gun on dad holding his baby at gas station
Shocking surveillance video shows the moment a Michigan man pulled a weapon on a father holding his sleeping baby at gas station in one the most crime-ridden cities in America.
The father quickly reacts, waving his arms in front of the gunman in an attempt to grab the weapon during the altercation at a Detroit gas station Sunday evening.
The suspect then steps out of the store and is seen fiddling with the firearm in the parking lot. Investigators believe the gun may have jammed when the father attempted to grab it.
The wild video is now part of an aggravated assault investigation and police have taken a person of interest into custody.
Investigators believe the suspect targeted the father after an argument ensued between the pair, although it's unclear what the argument was about, and if they knew one another prior to the tiff.
The unidentified suspect walked into the gas station store at the corner of Hubbell and Tireman Avenues in broad daylight on Sunday around 5.50pm.
Video taken from outside the store shows the suspect, with both hands visible, walking through the parking lot before entering the shop.
With an unthreatening demeanor that gives no hint of what's about to come, he walks passed a customer who had just finished pumping gas and heads toward to store.
The suspect pulled out his gun as he opened the shop door and pointed it at the father. Police believe he followed the father into the store following an argument.
