The video shows the Jeep pulling out of a parking space at the station as the rear right-side door opens and a girl jumps out, rolling on the pavement.
After she falls, a man who police say is the girl’s father is seen on the hood of the “accomplice’s vehicle” attempting to stop it.
A few seconds later, the girl runs to the sidewalk before walking to her father who appears on the frame and hugs her before walking towards the gas station pumps.
Police say neither the girl or her father were hurt in the incident.
