Cut off his way

(A man, who is on foot, is in the middle of a parking basement. Another man in a car starts to drive from one end of the parking basement to the other.) Then:

The man runs across the parking basement, trying to cut off his (the man in the car) way.

- Is "trying to cut off his way" natural here?

- Does the sentence make sense?

I've never seen a case where a man on foot was able to stop a car in motion, so to that extent, it doesn't make sense.
