The incident happened in the capital of Albania.
A man stopped a dangerous driver by drop kicking him through the car’s window. The driver drove the vehicle through a major square in Tirana, the capital of Albania, as people queued up to receive Covid-19 vaccinations, and appeared to be aiming to hit pedestrians.
The footage was caught by Albanian news crews that were there to cover the country’s general election.
A group of people can be seen trying to stop the driver and pull him out of the vehicle, but to no avail. However one man runs over and dives feet first through the open window on the driver’s side, forcing him to stop.
Onlookers are then able to get into the vehicle and apprehend the driver.

The 32-year-old driver was then arrested. The BBC reports that Albanian police believe he was under the influence of drugs.
A passer-by said that he thought the driver was aiming for the crowd at the pedestrianised Skanderberg Square in a possible terrorist attack.
According to reports, the driver had already crashed three other cars in other parts of the city.
