MUST WATCH: Video Shows Marine Veteran Fighting Off 4 Teens Who Attempted To Rob Him At Gunpoint

Never mess with a U.S. Marine.

Four thugs in Maryland found out the hard way.

A video that has gone viral shows a Marine veteran in Maryland fighting off four teens who attempted to rob him at gunpoint.

In the video, marine veteran Jheyco Borda is seen working on his truck when a group of teens approaches him and demands him for his keys.

One of the teens then pulled out a gun and pointed it at Borda’s head.

That’s when Borda’s training kicked in.

Take a look:

The New York Post provided further context of the incident:

A Marine Corps veteran fought off a group of teens who tried to carjack him at gunpoint in broad daylight in Maryland.

Jheyco Borda was working on his truck in Oxon Hill — about 10 miles outside Washington, DC — when four hooded teens approached him around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, surveillance video posted to his Facebook page shows.

“Be careful and be aware of your surroundings,” Borda warned in the caption.

The teens surrounded Borda at the bed of his truck while one suspect — who was wearing a red, white and blue sweatshirt — pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the veteran’s head, demanding his car keys and phone.

Borda, seizing on a moment of distraction among the group, grabbed the suspect holding the gun and wrestled him for the weapon.

Seconds after the struggle began, Borda’s brother ran out of the house to help his sibling fend off the group.

A single gunshot rang out as the brothers fought for the gun, but nobody was struck.

WGME reported that two of the suspects were detained until police arrived:

Borda said his brother came, hit the teenage boy and that’s when the boy fired, hitting Borda’s truck.

Borda said his dad came to help, too. The three men detained two of the attackers until police arrived, according to PGCPD.
