Two people trying to flee a Redondo Beach restaurant without paying their bill struck a manager with their car — and it was all captured on video.

The incident happened Monday afternoon at Ragin Cajun Cafe on Pacific Coast Highway.

Lisa Hodges, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Steve, said the pair sat at an outdoor table and racked up $90 worth of food before asking for some to-go containers and their bill.

But the duo — described as a man and woman in their early to mid-20s — left the table without paying, and were already in their car and starting to drive away by the time the manager noticed.

Security camera footage shows a red sedan accelerating and striking the manager. Hodges said the man was carried about 30 feet on the hood of the car, and fell off only when the driver made a sharp turn as he maneuvered to get on Pacific Coast Highway.

1. I hope there are other images of these two so

they can be held accountable. Wrong is wrong.

2. That's not far from me

I sure hope they catch them.

3. NYC DA states they are no longer going to prosecute theft of services

Dine & Dash may become more prevalent in the Big Apple

4. They should do like hotels do: got to put a card down before getting keys.

11. i'm glad they have a new mayor

time to open a can on those trash

[Whiskeytide]

13. Hit and run isn't theft of services. n/t

[JI7]

5. People who do this type of thing are trash

6. I've eaten there it's OK Cajun but that's comparing it to Lafayette, and New Orleans.

Everyone was nice, we opted to eat in the car instead of the outdoor seating, and they brought drinks out to the car. I hope the assholes get caught.

7. they will get caught.. red starsky and hutch timey car

[cinematicdiversions]

8. I don't believe that is something that is being prosecuted currently

I disagree with the policy myself but that is my understanding.

9. watch video. the car purposely hit the manager, drove with him on the hood

this is felony attempted murder not just dash and dine

[Carlitos Brigante]

12. What's not being prosecuted? nt

[cinematicdiversions]

14. Dining and dashing. Nt

15. Did you miss the "ran over with a car..." part? Pretty sure it wouldn't take

the most aggressive prosecutor to get an pretty easy conviction.

10. Never stand in front of a car if the people in it are committing a crime.

His hospital bill for the injuries received will cost more then $90 and may leave him with a lifetime of disability and pain.
