What started as a simple exit from a big game quickly spiraled into full-blown chaos inside the MGM Grand Detroit parking garage following the Detroit vs. Dallas matchup in Michigan. Fans were simply trying to leave and head home after an exciting night, but instead, they found themselves front-row witnesses to a scene that felt more like a movie than real life. According to a Reddit user who was nearby and recorded the incident on their phone, the chaos began with a heated argument. One man accused another of hitting his car in the packed parking structure. At first, it was just shouting and finger-pointing, but it escalated almost instantly. Shouting echoed through the garage as cars came to a halt and stunned bystanders watched the scene unfold.
Then the situation took another turn. A second man rushed in and joined the confrontation, making it two versus one. Realizing he was now greatly outnumbered, the first man took off running through the garage, trying to get away from the situation and avoid a worse beating. The two Detroit men followed after him briefly, adding to the chaos and shock of everyone watching.
What happened next left onlookers even more stunned. Instead of simply walking away, the two men turned their attention to the first man’s car. They began opening it and going through the interior, taking items from inside. Some witnesses felt they may have believed they were somehow justified because of the argument, but to everyone else watching, the situation was clearly spiraling out of control.
Just when it seemed like things could not get any more unbelievable, another twist unfolded. The original car owner suddenly reappeared, sprinting back onto the scene. He rushed past the two men, jumped into their car, and locked the doors before they could react.
The pair tried desperately to get back inside their vehicle, but the doors were sealed. In a frantic attempt to escape the situation, the man drove the car forward, smashing directly into his own vehicle in the process. After the collision, he sped out of the garage and vanished, leaving behind his own damaged car.
Online reactions to the footage were instant and intense. Many viewers described it as something out of a video game or action film. “That was unexpectedly entertaining to watch. It really felt like everybody somehow won and also somehow lost at the same time,” one person wrote. Another commented, “This had everything: a fight, theft, a carjacking, and a crash. Are we sure this wasn’t a movie being filmed?”
