Jheyco Borda was working on his truck in Oxon Hill — about 10 miles outside Washington, DC — when four hooded teens approached him around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, surveillance video posted to his Facebook page shows.

The teens surrounded Borda at the bed of his truck while one suspect — who was wearing a red, white and blue sweatshirt — pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the veteran’s head, demanding his car keys and phone.
Borda, seizing on a moment of distraction among the group, grabbed the suspect holding the gun and wrestled him for the weapon.
As the struggle broke out, two of the attempted carjackers dashed down the residential street, while another anxiously circled the vehicle.

A single gunshot rang out as the brothers fought for the gun, but nobody was struck.
Borda’s brother then went after a second suspect. Within moments, both brothers had thrown their attackers to the ground and restrained them until Prince George’s County police arrived and took all four suspects into custody.
