An Amazon delivery driver in New York City became the unexpected star of a viral video when he took down an alleged carjacker who assaulted his female colleague and attempted to steal their van.
The confrontation erupted when 29-year-old Kevon Wilson reportedly launched a sudden attack on a 23-year-old female Amazon driver near a company warehouse in Jamaica, Queens. According to law enforcement officials, Wilson repeatedly struck the female employee, forcibly removed her from the van, and then made a bold attempt to drive off with the vehicle.

Give this man a raise, Amazon. The incident happened in the middle of the street in New York. The male driver noticed the situation unfolding and jumped… pic.twitter.com/6bUn3SVRdT — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) June 21, 2024
The female victim managed to grab the keys from the ignition, prompting her male coworker to come to her aid and deliver some well-deserved blows to the would-be van thief. A video of the incident captures the courageous Amazon workers trying to fend off the assailant until the female driver stepped in to separate the men.
The suspect didn't back down easily and made an attempt to take off with the Amazon van again, prompting another struggle with both workers. Despite suffering facial pain from the assault, the female employee declined medical attention.

Law enforcement later took the alleged carjacker into custody, charging him with robbery and assault. This wasn't Wilson's first brush with the law, as sources revealed his history of prior arrests and an open bench warrant for a traffic violation.

Now watch NYC arrest the Amazon employee, who’s probably already been fired by Amazon, while the criminal was booked, released and out committing more crimes.
The black male driver will get fired. The black female driver will get a promotion. That way, DEI is satisfied and toxic masculinity is condemned.
Sadly, Amazon will probably fire the two brave workers.
It takes a real idiot to sit there clinching his phone hoping to get 15 seconds of fame videoing two people getting beat by a 13%er!
The woman was doing most of the fighting. The guy helped, but he spent a lot of time backing off and standing behind her.
Hmmm?? It looks like they were familiar with the car jacker. Why did they let him back in the van?
I was wondering that too, but then I read the article: The female had the keys in “THEIR” possession.
Notice the article writer had a hard time with gender pronouns. SMH.
There are men left in this country. God Bless him!!!
Fighting back in communist ny is not allowed
You’re bragging about this brand of mayhem, Mayor? Are you an idiot?
Yes, to your question, he is.
Given they were all homies I am surprised they didn’t let him have the truck.
whyn is the Perp still walking and not in a wheelchair. Bash his head and leave him a bloody mess on the side of the road.
