MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. ā€“ Surveillance video shows the moment a man was carjacked at gunpoint Monday night while he had hisĀ 9-year-old daughterĀ sitting in the front passenger seat of his Bentley SUV.

The video, which has been shared on social media, was recorded just after 10:30 p.m. Monday at a Chevron gas station at 7375 SW 57th Ave. in Miami-Dade County.

The victim is seen in the video leaving his SUV near a gas pump when a stranger wearing a dark hoodie approaches him and appears to pull out a gun.
