Ahmed says he was pulling out of a bank parking lot around 7 p.m. when he accidentally swiped the suspect's bumper.

"This was a simple accident. Yes, it was [Adel's] fault, and I told [the suspect] right away that we are sorry, you are gonna get whatever you wanna get," said Mohi Ahmed, Adel's father.

In cell phone video, the suspect can be heard saying, "Open your pockets, start digging. I need money right now."

The victims say when they suggested calling police about the accident, that's when the suspect turned violent.
