A man narrowly escaped being seriously injured by a passing car after he was confronted by a group for allegedly flashing gang signs.

The man in the video, seen with a blue rag hanging out of his rear-left pocket, was accused by the group of claiming a Crip set. He tried to explain that he was just a rapper and singer as he was walking away into the middle of the street.

Sensing that the group is approaching him, he attempts to run away before getting hit by a car. Luckily, it was not a direct hit and he was able to get up and seemed fine. The group that confronted him walked away from the scene while taunting him.
