  • A Texas woman said someone hurled a spear through her windshield in a viral TikTok.
  • San Antonio Police are actively investigating the attack but have no suspects.

A Texas woman is lucky to be alive after she says someone chucked a five-foot spear through her windshield on her drive to a friend's house.

Shavone Canales posted a video on TikTok of the spear that she says someone "literally launched" through her windshield on Sunday. The seemingly random attack happened on an access road and was not a product of road rage, Canales wrote in the caption.

"So yeah guys, I almost died," Canales says in the video. "Someone threw a spear through my car tonight."

@420juicy This was while i was driving on an access road. This was NOT anyone I know nor was it road rage. Some literally launched this at my car from the side of the road. #almostdied #spear #san antonio #texas #sapd ♬ original sound - Juicyjuice

The video shows a long, black spear punctured through the passenger side of the car's window and stabbed into the column of Canales's steering wheel.

Canales posted a second video showing police removing the spear from her car. In the video, the officer says the spear is about five to six pounds and could go "really far if you throw it."

"You could have died," the officer says in the video.

@420juicy Spear through my windshield. Csi pulling it out. Completely random attack. Not road rage nor do I know who did this. This was someone standing on the side of the access road #almostdied #spear #texas #texas #sanantonio ♬ original sound - Juicyjuice

Canales said the attack was a "pretty scary event" that she was "not expecting," according to KSAT, an ABC affiliate in San Antonio.

"It was not road rage or anything," Canales told the outlet. "This was unprovoked and just completely random. I think they're trying to intentionally hurt somebody. I'm just thankful to be alive."

The San Antonio Police Department did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Wednesday.

Police told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that officers arrived near the 7600 block of US Interstate 10 at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday night. Police said they have no suspects but that they are still actively investigating the attack, according to the paper.
