Cameras captured a harrowing scene for a traffic inspector on the streets outside Argentina’s capital.

The inspector, wearing a uniform and brightly colored safety vest, was seen clinging to the hood of a car in San Isidro on Wednesday.

Britain’s Telegraph newspaper reports the inspector’s ride started when a 61-year-old woman took off from a traffic stop.

The man reportedly fractured his knee from the fall.

Police later caught up with the car and arrested the driver for attempted murder, according to The Telegraph.
