Amazon worker beats up would-be carjacker who allegedly attacked female coworker
A Big Apple Amazon delivery driver was caught on camera beating up an alleged would-be carjacker who punched his female coworker in the face and tried to take off with her van.
The wild scenes kicked off when the alleged perp suddenly attacked the 23-year-old female Amazon driver while she was stuck in traffic near one of the company’s warehouses in Jamaica, Queens last Sunday, cops said.
The man, identified as 29-year-old Kevon Wilson, allegedly punched the female employee repeatedly, dragged her from the van and then jumped in the driver’s seat, police sources told The Post.
The quick-thinking victim grabbed the keys out of the ignition as her male coworker raced over to defend her — landing several blows of his own against the would-be van thief, the footage shows.
He was filmed repeatedly pummeling the suspect in the middle of the road until the female driver stepped in to separate the two men.
When the two men eventually stopped brawling, the alleged perp then brazenly jumped into the Amazon van in an apparent bid to take off with the vehicle again.
Both Amazon workers could then be seen trying to drag the man back out, the video shows.
The female worker suffered pain to her face, arm and neck but refused medical attention, sources said.
The would-be carjacker was later arrested for robbery and assault.
The suspect has a slew of prior arrests to his name, including an assault that unfolded in May 2020, sources said.
He also has an open bench warrant for a traffic violation, the sources added.
Amazon said they are investigating the latest violent ordeal.
Wilson, meanwhile, had his bond set at $7,500 following his arraignment in Queens Criminal Court on Monday.
He is slated to face court again on July 16.
