A U.S. Marine veteran in Oxen Hill, Maryland, fought off four hooded attackers, at least one of whom was armed, Wednesday afternoon as he was working on his truck.
FOX 5 DC reported that the Marine veteran, Jheyco Borda, was working on his truck in a neighborhood near Oxen Hill High School when the four attackers approached. They allegedly “demanded his car keys, phone and other valuables.”
One of the four attackers allegedly pulled a gun and pointed it at Borda’s head, at which point Borda grabbed the gun and tried to wrestle it away.
Borda’s brother saw what was happening and came running out of the house to subdue one of the other suspects.
The New York Post noted, “Within moments, both brothers had thrown their attackers to the ground and restrained them until Prince George’s County police arrived and took all four suspects into custody.”
Borda said, “Once a Marine, always a Marine.”
He added, “It took me just one split second. We went to training for the Marines and that came out right at the moment.”
