According to Gibson, it seemed like he hit the vendor in the photo, so he stopped and checked through his window. He was shocked when he saw the guy “stood up so quickly, moved at the left side, and started knocking vigorously at my side window. He was (doing a fake) crying and looks like he was trying to let me see that he was hurt. Some cars in front of us (notice from the video again) even stopped as they may have seen the entire thing unfold from their mirrors as well.”

Luckily, he knew what to do and his wife was aware of what was happening. He also stated that when his wife took out her phone and tried to get a video of him, the alleged scammer stopped but still trying to get other motorists’ attention by crying vigorously.
