WATCH: (Scroll Down For Video) A car salesman from Texas was saved by his iPhone after a group of criminals kidnapped him during a test drive.
Jose Martinez, aged 22, an employee at a car dealership in Houston, was left with multiple injuries including a broken nose and bruises to his face after he says a trio of carjackers bundled him into the trunk of a Dodge Challenger.
Police are now searching for the suspects, two of whom are described as African-American men, two of them with a thin built and tattoos.
The ordeal started at around 6pm Monday when a man walked into a Gillman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in the 10500 block of West Sam Houston Parkway and asked to test drive a $40,000 red Dodge Challenger.
A short time later, the prospective client, who was behind the wheel of the muscle car, pulled over and struck him.
The trio beat up the 22-year-old, tied him up with his own belt and some tape, and threw him in the trunk.
Martinez luckily still had possession of his iPhone which he used to alert authorities and set up the ‘Fine my iPhone’ application.
The 22-year-old also had a message for his attackers: ‘I hope they get caught, that’s it. I hope they go to jail forever.’
