A scene from “Fast and Furious?”

A sports utility vehicle (SUV) was caught maneuvering wildly in a gas station at North Fairview in Quezon City after being confronted by a police officer.

Videos of the incident went viral on social media, with automotive publication VISOR sharing details about the situation.

A sender of the video claimed that it happened at Metro Oil in North Fairview at 12:50 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8.

The footage showed a police officer talking to the driver of a white Toyota Fortuner which rear-ended a van.

The SUV later reverses, with the police officer chasing after it while exclaiming, “Sir! Sir, sir sir!”

It then careens in a gas station and then maneuvers in a wild circular fashion until it hits something, splashing liquid all over.

A clearer version of the video was also posted by another Facebook user.

The incident prompted some Facebook users to drop such comments:

“Now showing! ‘Fast & Fairview 3.’ Cast: Vin Diesel, Paul Regular, Sung Premium,” a Pinoy quipped.

“Too much anticipation of GTA 6,” another user wrote with a screaming face emoji. “GTA” is short for “Grand Theft Auto,” a video game series.

“GTA in real life,” said a different user.

A report by Abante TNT claims that the Fortuner driver who was arrested after the stunt was a retired US Navy serviceman.
