A British DJ said he is 'broken' and is 'lucky to be alive' after he was allegedly ambushed by an armed gang in Brazil who then chased him and his crew at high speed down a motorway.
Daley Pedley, who goes by the stage name Hot Since 82, cancelled his upcoming shows and said he doesn't think he will ever return to the country after the ordeal.
He said he did not know if the gang were 'jackers or murderers' but claimed that they specifically targeted his car in the centre of Rio de Janeiro as he travelled from a club to the airport with his team.
The gang were wearing balaclavas and were armed with AK-47s, Pedley said, adding that his 'heroic' driver put the car into reverse before speeding for 'miles and miles down the motorway in reverse to try to get away from the shooters.'
'We were really lucky to not have crashed because we were weaving in and out of oncoming traffic going 60, 70mph with the car full of AK47s following us,' he said in an emotional Instagram video.
Pedley said the gang 'were adamant they were going to get us,' and that they only got away from them thanks to their driver
The 41-year-old told his 525,000 followers that the chase was 'like a scene out of Fast and Furious',
