The clip, shared on Instagram, shows a white car being chased by a police vehicle.
A video of a fast-paced chase, dramatic stunts and powerful visuals has left the Internet stunned. The clip, shared on Instagram by a page called Kiddan, shows a white car being chased by a police vehicle. As the white car speeds ahead, the police make a sudden and jaw-dropping drift, cutting right in front of the moving vehicle which brings it to a halt. For many on the Internet, it was a scene straight out of a big-budget action film.
When the viewers think the scene is over, the police car begins to move again and drags the white car slightly forward. At this moment, a man steps out from the police vehicle and jumps onto the hood of the white car. He smashes the front windshield to get inside the car and catch the person inside.
A few seconds later, another car comes from behind and blocks the white car so it can't run away. The scene is full of high-octane action and feels just like something out of a movie.
Kiddan, in its caption, claimed that the incident took place on the streets of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to the outlet, the video captures local police chasing a suspect trying to flee. What followed, as per the page, was a 'cinematic sequence of precision driving and split-second decision-making."
The overlay text on the video reads, 'Watch: This! Saudi Police's jaw-dropping movie like car chase through Riyadh shocks the internet."
No doubt the video can leave anyone shocked but many viewers in the comments weren't convinced it was real. Some said it looked more like a stunt show while others believed it was part of a police drill.
One user commented, 'It's a stunt show on TV in Riyadh."
Another said, 'This is not a real incident, but a drilling practice, everyone can see that every scene is being displayed on a bigger screen in the background."
'Must be some movie set, front glass doesn't break that easily," someone pointed out.
A viewer wrote, 'It cannot be real. They are police not some elite force para commandos, breaking windshield of cars to arrest someone. Even para commandos won't break the windshield," while another added, 'Front windshield can break this way just in movies and scripts."
'I thought it was a movie shoot," read another comment.
Even with the doubts, the video became a hot topic and has already crossed over two lakh views.
