Witnessed a disturbing incident in broad daylight on 5th ave / 21st St in NYC today. About 50 young boys on bikes blocked 5th ave traffic & trashed an SUV, riders inside, jumping on the windshield. Car had medical license plates & a man & older woman inside.
They spat on the car, slammed a bike onto the windshield, then a guy jumped on it & they broke the handle, trying to open the door from the outside.
Woman was shaking & in tears, “We were trapped, there was so much violence, I thought I was going to die.”
Better angle
And a close-up ....
Can’t fathom being in that car.
Driver of the car:
Accurate reporting of the BMW attack as I saw it. Only there were 40-50 boys three (rather than a dozen, as seen in my vid above), and while the driver & his mom weren’t physically hurt, they were deeply shaken. That’s deep & lasting trauma. @ABC7NY
