00:00Welcome back to TMZ live. I don't know about you
00:02But my mom always said listen if you're gonna do your job be the best try to be the best
00:07I mean look at you clearly
00:10Okay, thank you. Yeah
00:12but this guy in Memphis
00:16took it a little too seriously a repo man who was on the job doing what repo men do and
00:22He definitely takes his job seriously, but took it so seriously now
00:27Police are searching for the guy who did what we're about to show you now
00:31We will give you a quick warning
00:33This is gonna be a little disturbing this video, but we will tell you that the repo man survived this
00:40miraculously, yeah
00:41But they are looking for the suspect so
00:45Phil is the name of the repo man is in the middle of getting a car hitched up onto his tow truck
00:51mm-hmm as the repo man does when the
00:54Guy who owns that car or who's supposed to be making the payments
00:58Shows up and decides he's gonna try to get the car out of there before it get hooked. All right up
01:03Watch this
01:23Oh
01:25Bill was very much alert
01:28Afterward and we've had to bleep a lot of this because he is yelling
01:32Deservedly so yelling at the driver telling him you're going to jail
01:38you're gonna owe me a lot of money and
01:41My god video is absolutely insane guys and so Phil actually is completely okay
01:48He was
01:50He had abrasions to his head and I guess he was complaining of arm pain, which is totally understandable
01:55he was transported to a hospital and
01:58He's basically had non like he was in stable condition
02:01So he's gonna be okay
02:02And the crazy thing is that that guy actually is still on the loose
02:06So they obviously track the driver of the car driver when they track down where he lives. He wasn't there
02:11So they're still looking for the driver the Ford Focus, but I mean that repo man
02:16I mean he was committed to the job
02:17I don't understand how this guy one managed to get away and the fact that they have not caught him yet
02:24Is crazy to me. Yeah
02:27They know it clearly
02:29Phil knows they don't drive
02:31They found they know where lives. Yeah
02:35Guy and don't you guys feel that like you always think think of like when you see people getting their car repoed like people
02:41I feel like always want to do this, but you never actually see someone try to get in their car
02:46You wouldn't want to cause some you wouldn't want to threaten someone's life in order to get the car back
02:52I mean, it's this looks like a movie scene, doesn't it? Yeah, and I movie
02:55I don't know when they find this guy what the charge is gonna be but if it's attempted murder, I you couldn't
03:01Yeah
03:03Aggravated assault is what the cops are saying. He's facing. That's what they're gonna charge him with once they catch him
03:09I assuming they catch him but Wow and Phil
03:13Kudos man, but sometimes
03:16Sometimes you gotta let it go
03:18Because I'd hire him though. Is this not the greatest like resume thing ever this guy?
03:23Talk about a dedicated employee indeed. Hey, this is Tramiel from Staten Island, New York
03:30It's never smart to put your head underneath a vehicle. However, it's a miracle that the repo man wasn't killed during the incident
03:37It's a very dangerous job nowadays
03:40This is proof that people will go to extreme measures to protect their form of transportation
03:45But you have to ask yourself at the end of the day is a 2011 Ford Focus worth
03:50Potentially touching an attempted murder charge or an aggravated assault charge
03:53Yeah, is it worth now most likely if you are arrested and convicted you're going to prison
04:00I mean that was a great year for the Ford Focus. Yeah
04:05Yeah, is there a great year for the Ford was
