Pulse-pounding video shows NYC man flung to his death from hood of BMW while trying to stop carjackers
NY Post ^ | 11/16/2023 | Kevin Sheehan and Snejana Farberov

A Queens man was thrown to his death while clinging to the hood of a BMW as he tried to stop thieves who broke into his car in broad daylight — with harrowing surveillance video obtained by The Post depicting the violent carjacking.

Loud, distressing screams from a crowd of witnesses can be heard in the footage as the heartless crooks speed off in the white BMW, with Mauro Chimbay, 43, holding on for dear life.

Moments later, the victim is seen losing his grip on the hood and falling in the middle of the road as the BMW speeds off.

Chimbay was left with severe head trauma after being tossed by the fleeing thieves he’d tried to stop in East Elmhurst at around 3 p.m. Wednesday, said the NYPD, which is still hunting the two suspects.

There was a similar video of a MMA fighter going through the same ordeal.

That didn’t look like a carjacking to me.

It was interesting that the crowd in the park seemed like they were running to help stop the crime. Never seen that in NY before.

You say that like they’re two different entities. I’d say all of them are criminals.

Even worse. Whatever they stole from the back of his car was not worth his life.

Same basic thoughts crossed This Guy’s mind.

In the moment though. Can you get past the righteous anger.

Correct, nobody can write a accurate headline, or news article for that matter, anymore.

Unless my wife or kids were in the car I wouldn’t risk my life to keep it from being stolen.

OTOH I live in rural Texas. In the very unlikely event someone tried to steal my car I would just shoot him.

An effective car theft protection: manual drive.

Does anyone still sell cars with manual transmission?

I learned how to drive in an old truck with three on the tree and later moved up to four on the floor. My first several cars were manual transmission. The first car I ever bought with automatic was for my wife in our early 30s. I haven't owned a vehicle with manual in almost 30 years now.

When I taught my kids how to drive I wanted to teach them how to drive manual, but couldn't find a car that I could buy, borrow or rent with standard transmission.

There was a carjacking case where the carjackers shot the driver dead when they realized that they couldn’t drive a stickshift..
