The footage of the intrusive camera from the security cameras showed a terrifying moment when the 29-year-old woman was hit by an Amazon delivery van before the driver took off and left motionless on the street.
Amazon workers are accused of attacking a woman in the Baltimore suburb of Maryland before 9:30pm on Tuesday.
The woman moved forward when the dark blue Amazon Van stopped at Red Street Light had a green light. We were crossing the street at the intersection of Platt and S. Chester Street.
The pedestrians were heard screaming as the vehicle slowly ploughed with its front wheels and dragged it several feet.
The driver was heard crying in the cold street under the car, and the driver stopped temporarily, but after a temporary pause, he accelerated and rolled her body again.
“He knew something was wrong, especially driving a truck all day,” said the resident. Josh Webster said FOX 5 News. “You can distinguish between a pothole and a person. I'm sure,” Webster said.
Amazon employees finally left the truck as the injured woman cried out for “help” several times.
After spending about 30 seconds with the woman, the driver returned to the van and drove off.
The good Samaritan was pulled up to the scene and quickly ran over to the abandoned victims.
One person said, “I got the photo,” and it's likely that they're referring to taking photos of Amazon drivers and vans.
The victim is expected to survive as he is taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

“We were noticed today in this horrifying incident,” the statement said, “The driver in question has been suspended from being delivered on our behalf, and during the investigation, he and his employer and law enforcement agencies. We're working together.”
