THIS is the shocking moment a teenager tried to drag a bikini-clad barista through a drive-thru window.
CCTV footage from Ladybug Bikini Espresso in Lakewood shows the 19-year-old lunging for the scantily-clad server in the early hours of August 18.
What started as a routine late-night coffee run turned sinister when the worker handed over a drink – only for the customer to suddenly grab her arm and yank her violently toward his car.
The terrifying clip shows the woman bracing her legs against the counter, desperately clinging to the frame as her shirt is ripped open in the struggle.
The shaken barista managed to slam the window shut after the attacker let go and sped away.
But she was left with painful red marks across her wrist, bicep and shoulder.
Cops later identified the suspect as Ezekiel Guerrero, 19, after he used his credit card to pay for the order.
He was busted on Monday and confessed to the assault – telling cops booze and weed had clouded his mind.
More footage from his police interrogation shows him in handcuffs attempting to explain himself.
The creep admitted: “I remember reaching vividly – grabbed her – she said help.
“And when she said help, I let go and got out of there.
“It was just a flash, the moment I realised what I did, I let go. I don’t even know why I showed up there, I was drunk I was upset.”
Guerrero told officers he was “sad” over his ex and had only stopped at the 24/7 coffee hut to see a “pretty girl”.
He claims he never intended to harm anyone.
The barista, who bravely escaped the clutches of her attacker, later told FOX 13 Seattle she was horrified to learn he had been released without bail.
She said: “I’m honestly just really upset that since he’s young and it’s his first offense that he got no bail, or house arrest.
“If he’s committing violent acts like this at the rip age of 19 years old, I’m not too confident that he won’t do that again to someone else who might end up less fortunate than I did.”
Guerrero has pleaded not guilty to first-degree attempted kidnapping and is due back in court later this month.
The shocking case comes as bikini baristas across Washington – where lingerie-clad coffee shops are hugely popular – continue to report terrifying encounters with predatory men.
