UPDATE: Dwayne Harvard was acquitted of all charges following a nonjury trial before Allegheny County Judge Randal B. Todd in April, court records show.

It was quite a ride for Steve Sutton Sunday night - on the hood of an SUV through some seven western Pa. towns, according to NBC News.

The "Furious 7"-style stunt occurred when suspect Dwayne Harvard, 46, allegedly had an argument with Sutton over a woman and then struck Sutton with his 2002 Ford Explorer, according to the Pennsylvania State Police.

The driver then proceeded to take a Sunday drive with the man clinging to his hood in Allegheny County, according to NBC, which writes:

Harvard took off and zipped through Harmar Township, Springdale Township, Frazier Township, East Deer Township, Tarentum Borough, Fawn Township and into Harrison Township.

Sutton was still on the hood of the SUV when troopers stopped it after an eight mile run.

Sutton's girlfriend, Anna Mazzetti, told NBC affiliate WPXI that Sutton instigated the argument, confronting Harvard in her driveway after Harvard drove her home.

She said Sutton threatened Harvard and then leaped onto the hood of the Explorer as Harvard tried to get away.

"And we did try to stop the vehicle. He got completely violent like he was going to kill us both. Nobody in their right mind would stop the vehicle..." Mazzetti told the station.

Harvard was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and DUI, according to police.
