A lawyer who happened to be at the crime scene risked his life to rescue the man, who, according to sources, works a shared taxi driver operating on Jabal Al-Hussein route in Amman.

The lawyer, Mohammad Munwer Al-Saaideh, told Al-Ghad daily, that the suspects attacked the driver and pushed him into the trunk of a taxi, then headed on Road 60, overlooking the town and leading to the Jordan Valley. He noticed the trunk closing and opening involuntarily, while the taxi accelerated to 170km/h.

The lawyer managed to cut the taxi off and bring it to a halt, but not without his vehicle being struck, resulting in Saaideh’s car rolling over. The suspects exited the taxi and fled on foot.

Saidah added that as soon as the civil defense came onto the scene, they found the victim in a “miserable condition inside the car trunk.”
