A video showing a man clinging to the back of a tow truck while it dragged a car along Long Beach streets started with a repossession gone bad, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Footage posted to the Long Beach Local News Facebook page and filmed from a vehicle following along shows sparks flying and the car swinging wildly from the tow truck’s arm.

The chase began in Compton on Monday morning, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy David Kluth.

As the tow truck driver was hooking up the car, the owner began yelling, authorities said.

The driver drove away, in fear of the owner, who then jumped up on the back of the truck, according to authorities.

“The tow truck driver noticed the owner of the vehicle riding on the back of the tow truck, holding a crow bar, and shattering the tow truck’s rear window,” authorities said in a news release Tuesday.

Long Beach police pulled over the truck around 10:30 a.m. and passed off the investigation to the sheriff’s department, which patrols Compton.

Kluth said the man who jumped on the truck vandalized it, but in the end, nobody was arrested.
