A Reddit user who claimed to be in the viral video described the horror he experienced.
“That's me in this video. I'm the guy running out of the way before the driver hits the golf cart that my boyfriend was in,” he said. “We just finished 16th hole and someone was doing donuts all over the course. I took out my phone to try and take a picture of his license plate to get into the clubhouse.”
It quickly went from weird to scary.
“The driver saw me filming him and turned around to try and run him over,” he continued. “All we know at this point is that the driver was caught by the police and we gave our statements. We don't know the motive or anything else. We went from 'I'm taking pictures of some idiot' to 'Oh! will try to kill you within about 0.5 seconds.”
