The terrifying incident took place early Monday, according to surveillance footage released by the Auburn Police Department.

In the video, the barista is handing change to a man in a pickup truck when he uses what cops described as a “looped ziptie device” to try to trap her and drag her through the window.

The barista “was able to fight off the attacker” and shut the window before the suspect pulls forward, stops for a couple of seconds, then drives off without his change.

The man was sporting a large tattoo on his left forearm that read “Chevrolet.”

The APD said on social media a suspect was identified and arrested “after overwhelming support from the community.”

The suspect was arrested at his home in Auburn, Wash., about 23 kilometres east of Tacoma, APD spokesperson Kolby Crossley told KIRO.

Police conducted a search of the man’s truck and found evidence linking him to the crime, the officer alleged.

Exactly what evidence was found was not immediately released.

The barista, who was working alone at the time, was not injured in the incident.

“They are in vulnerable positions because they’re usually controlling those spots by themselves at early hours in the morning when it’s dark outside,” Crossley told the outlet. “But this barista did an awesome job of protecting herself and fighting this person off.”
