An Australian man held a news reporter at gunpoint after confessing to a crime on camera. He then stole the news truck and crashed into a gas tank!
The strange events unfolded after the man on a motorcycle flagged down the 7News van and decided to confess to attacking a woman. While the man was crying and with blood on his hands, camera operator Peter Steer talked to him as the emotional man begged him to call police and turn him in.
As 7News reported: "A chap on a Harley sort of pulled me over, I thought there might have been something wrong with my car," Peter Steer said. "He got off his bike and approached me and said, 'I've got a story for you'. I said, 'Well mate, you better hurry because I'm going to a shooting,' and he said, 'Mate, I'm the shooter.'"
But things took a turn for the worst when the man jumped into the news van, pulled out a gun, and took off. He later crashed the van into a gas tank at full speed. That's when police were able to arrest him.
