The incident occurred on July 19, in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel on Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee. Anthony Luis Cruz, a 29-year-old employee of the restaurant, had just pulled into the lot at 5:30 p.m. when a Nissan Versa pulled up closely beside his vehicle. After Cruz exited his car, surveillance footage shows the operator of the Nissan accelerating and running Cruz over, then driving over a strip of grass and leaving the scene of the crime.
He just floored it right at me and ran me over,” Cruz told WFTV, adding that a passerby came to his aid and called for help.
Cruz identified his assailant as a white man between 40 and 50, weighing approximately 210 to 225 pounds. Police say he was driving a white Nissan Versa with tinted windows and a “light blue tint” strip across the windshield
