A Seattle driver is wanted after he was caught on camera deliberately hitting two pedestrians a block away, while the car’s occupants laughed about it and encouraged them to “hit this bitch.”
Surveillance footage released by the Seattle Police Department shows a vehicle apparently swerving to directly hit a woman crossing the street at 1:50 a.m. on Nov. 26.
Several people could be seen running to help the unidentified victim before a car stops, and the driver gets out and carries the woman to the passenger seat before driving away.
The images matched a cellphone clip taken from inside the vehicle that struck the woman, which police said was posted on social media.
In that video, a backseat occupant in a female voice could be heard telling the driver, “Hit this bitch, hit this bitch” before the car crashed into the victim.
A crash was then heard as the vehicle hit the woman, at which point the occupants began laughing.

In a second incident, just a block from the first, the driver can be seen crashing directly into another pedestrian, hitting the unsuspecting victim head-on from behind, giving him no chance to move out of the way first.
Again, a loud bang was heard as the body hit the hood of the car, sending the victim flying over the roof of the vehicle.
It is unclear when that incident occurred.

Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said the “disturbing” attacks have left him “extremely concerned.”
Residents also said they were shocked by the videos, noting that most people walk rather than use a car in the area.
“It almost seems like they think it’s a joke, or they’re doing it for fun, which is pretty horrible,” neighbor Ethan Gunnel told KIRO.
“I don’t know what kind of person would think it’s fun to hit people.”

Officers say the victims likely suffered serious injuries based on the speed of impact in the videos.
Detectives have been trying to locate the victims by canvassing local hospitals, according to KOMO.
But so far police have had no luck finding the injured.
