CWB Chicago reported:

Video emerged on social media this weekend of a man carjacking a driver while armed with a rifle on an expressway near downtown Chicago.

The footage shows three people running out of a car that was apparently involved in an auto accident along the outbound Dan Ryan Expressway just north of the Stevenson Expressway. Then one of them, wearing a black ski mask and toting a large weapon, tries to carjack passing vehicles.

The carjacker appears to offer a fistful of cash to the man who’s recording in exchange for a ride, but the man, who says he was on his way home from work, declines.

“Look at that rifle! “Look at that rifle!” yells the man.

Then, the carjacking occurred.

“He’s hijacking the car! He’s hijacking the car right now!”

The man recording the hijacking encourages the driver to speed away. Instead, the driver gets out, puts his hands in the air, and watches as the hijacker speeds off with their vehicle.

Saudi Arabia's defense minister 'astonished' by 'accusations' that Saudis are aligned with Russia

Saudi Arabia's defense minister said Sunday that he and other top officials are "astonished" by accusations that Saudi Arabia has aligned itself with Russia due to OPEC's decision to cut oil production by two million barrels a day. 

"Although the OPEC+ decision, which was taken unanimously, was due to purely economic reasons, some accused the Kingdom of standing with Russia," Khalid bin Salman, the defense minister, tweeted on Sunday. 

"Iran is also a member of OPEC, does this mean that the Kingdom is standing with Iran as well?"

The oil cut came as President Biden and other western leaders urged more production to decrease prices and take away the main source of income for Russian President Vladimir Putin's war machine. 

After OPEC+ announced the decision, White House officials said the U.S. would reassess its relationship with Saudi Arabia. 

SEN. BOB MENENDEZ CALLS FOR END ALL COOPERATION WITH SAUDI ARABIA OVER OPEC+ OIL CUT

"We believe by the decision that OPEC+ made last week, [Saudi Arabia is] certainly aligning themselves with Russia," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing this week. "And right now, this is not the time to be aligning with Russia, especially with this brutal, unprecedented war that they started in Ukraine." 

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday that President Biden does not have plans to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the G20 summit next month. 

"The President isn't going act precipitously, he is going to act methodically, strategically and he's going to take his time to consult with members of both parties, and also to have an opportunity for Congress to return so that he can sit with them in person and work through the options," Sullivan told CNN on Sunday. 

Saudi Arabia announced $400 million in humanitarian aid this week for Ukraine and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the phone on Thursday.
