An enraged driver mowed down an elderly man after smashing a bus’s window.
In dramatic footage captured by a witness, Mariana Silver, 20, can be seen storming out of her Audi and approaching a Greyhound bus at around 6pm on Thursday, August 30.
After smashing the vehicle’s window and wing mirror with a large metal object which appears to be a car jack, the Northern Washington DC resident gets back into her car and tries to drive away.
A grey-haired man attempting to block her escape is then knocked over three times as he calls 911.
With the drama unfolding on the road outside, passengers sitting on the bus can be heard commenting in disbelief.
"She’s going to f***ing jail," one woman said as the blue shirted man is knocked onto the bonnet of the moving Audi.
As he films the incident Juan Blanco approached Silver and asked why she was driving into the grey haired man.
She responded: "He f***ed up my whole car."
Silver eventually drives away, leaving the obstructing man with bruises and scratches on his left elbow.
When asked why he was standing in front of Silver’s car, he said: "She was going to get away with it."

Blanco, 24, told CBS News: "It was just scary… she just started going AWOL.
