This is the moment a car crashes into a biker before one of the car’s passengers gets out and pulls a gun – chasing the biker down the street and shooting him dead. 

The startling incident took place in the city of Maringa in the southern Brazilian state of Parana and was captured by a CCTV camera.

In the video, a motorcyclist, who has not been named but was 32 years old, can be seen turning off a main road when he crashes into the front of a white Hyundai HB20 car.

The cyclist is knocked off his bike while the car crashes into a tree. The driver gets out of the car and sprints away from the scene while the biker goes back towards his own vehicle.

One of the passengers in the car then comes sprinting towards him with a gun and the biker tries to run away. The gunman follows the biker down the street, opening fire.

The first few shots hit the road but the biker then falls to the ground before springing back to his feet. The gunman then opens fire from close range, sending the biker crashing back down to the tarmac.

The aggressor then runs back to the vehicles and steals the motorbike, riding it away.

The victim reportedly died at the scene and sources from the Civil Police told local media he had a criminal record for carrying an illegal firearm.

Reports state the motorbike was abandoned around 200 metres from the scene. The suspects have not been identified and no motive has been provided for the crime.
