A Mexican sports journalist is lucky to be left unscathed after he was carjacked during a live broadcast.<\/p>\n

Activo Deportes\u2019 Fernando Vargas was reporting from his vehicle when an armed man appeared at his window, Fox News Digital reported. Vargas had been speaking to host Ed Martinez for the show \u201cBla, bla, bla Deportivo\u201d when the incident occurred and was later shared on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key, quick. Key, phones, and wallets, quick,\u201d the armed thug demanded.<\/p>\n

Vargas appeared to remain calm despite the audible sound of a cocking gun and ultimately left the vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, he\u2019s safe, but very scared,\u201d Martinez later wrote in a post on Instagram. \u201cIf anyone recognizes the guy in the video, please help us and report him to the authorities. This happened in Morelos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reaction from X users showed plenty of anger over crime in Mexico.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral people had their cell phones stolen as they were leaving a concert. There are thousands of thefts of this kind that, since they don\u2019t involve violence, no one reports them, and no one does anything to make them stop,\u201d X user alejandra said.<\/p>\n

\n

A varias personas les robaron sus celulares saliendo de un concierto. Son miles de robos de estas caracter\u00edsticas que como no son con violencia nadie los reporta, nadie hace nada porque terminen.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething very smart that any foreigner planning to attend any World Cup match in Mexico should do is check the security situation that prevails in Mexico,\u201d Fergamo advised:<\/p>\n

\n

Algo muy inteligente que tendr\u00eda que hacer cualquier extranjero que tenga planeado asistir a alg\u00fan partido del Mundial en M\u00e9xico, ser\u00eda checar la situaci\u00f3n de inseguridad que prevalece en M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s dangerous\u2014mainly at night\u2014to stay inside a parked car while waiting for someone, even right in front of your own home, because things like what you see in the video can happen,\u201d according to Marinero de agua dulce.<\/p>\n

The armed thug made off with Vargas\u2019 wallet, phone, and other personal belongings and is still on the loose, according to Fox News.<\/p>\n
