Police: Men arrested for street racing at nearly 100 mph on busy Alpharetta road

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Two men are facing charges after Alpharetta police say they caught them street racing right in front of an officer on a busy road.

Dash cam video from the officer on patrol on April 6 near Webb Bridge and Morris roads captured the men fly past the officer at a stoplight.

"When the light turned green he noticed two vehicles that were two car lengths ahead of him took off at a very high rate of speed,” Officer Howard Miller said.

Video shows Officer Dustin Bak go after the cars.

“Clocked both cars going about 91 miles an hour on Webb Bridge road, which is a 40 mph zone,” Miller said.

Bak was able to pull the men over at Webb Bridge Road and Westside Parkway.

Both men gave him an excuse about why they were going so fast.

“The light had turned green and he was in the left lane and I was trying to cut him off, not cut him off.  I was merging into his lane, ok, and I kind of like sped up,” one man says in the video.

Bak ultimately arrested drivers Gabriel Moussa and Hamza Vaid for speeding, racing and reckless driving.

“You’re being placed under arrest for speeding, 91 in a 40 mile an hour zone,” Bak says in the video.

Bak said the drivers could have killed someone.

“Had they drifted over into another lane and there’d been an oncoming car, yeah it definitely could have been a tragedy,” Miller said.
