Video translation is as follows: 

Newscaster:.. on social networks images are overflowing with crime and despair. It happened in Linda Vista, this is how an assault and an attempted kidnapping happened that a victim managed to avoid. Putting at risk his own life. But finally saying no more. Enough is enough. My life is worth much more and so is my freedom. He risked it all and managed to escape.

Reporter: In a matter of seconds a motorist managed to thwart the assault and kidnapping attempt of which he was going to be a victim. It happened the night of last Monday, October 29 in the streets of Colonia Linda Vista in the neighborhood of Gustavo A. Madero around 10 o’clock at night. 

The driver arrives at his home, maneuvers to reverse. He gets his truck in the garage. Moments later 2 vehicles approach. From the second car, a blue vehicle, 4 subjects descend. And they throw themselves under the garage door before it fully closes. All dressed in black with caps on they managed to enter and called out the victim with a gun in hand.

 The reaction is immediate. The car accelerates to run over the group of thieves, knock down the gate and smashes into the aggressors car. Observe how one of the thieves was hit and comes out from underneath the tires. Surely he was injured. His accomplices are momentarily stuck on the other side of the twisted gate. And then 2 more criminals descend from their vehicle. 

The criminals immediately begin to flee on foot. One of them tries to approach the victim's window. The victims reverses, and manages to flee. The thief climbs into the back of the smashed vehicle. He notices that there is no driver. Gets off and takes the wheel. Seconds later a luxury silver vehicle arrives. For a brief moment they almost collided. The silver vehicle passes forward and several meters ahead you can see someone boarding it. The thief in the blue vehicle starts and stops. He gets off to try to close the damaged door. 

This SUV was abandoned a few blocks from the crime scene. Just below one of the public security cameras. But that’s not all. An hour before all this there was an attempted robbery and kidnapping in the same neighborhood. These are the images. In the same manner at a residence the gate is closing. And 2 subjects arrive, pistol in hand, they try to open it. It closes and they simply walk away in search of what would be their next victim. In both cases, complaints were filed for the crime of attempted robbery and kidnapping. According to police sources these subjects belong to the criminal organization Los Burritos. Which operates in the residential colonies within the vicinity of the Zacatenco University.

Newscaster: Well, such impunity, right?  And that desperation also of course for the citizens. Just as well for the people who live in that neighborhood because men seem to be doing what they want with impunity. And it’s true that we could never give an apology for the violence. But it's good that this man defended himself. And hopefully the authorities quickly apprehend these wretched thieves.
