Footage out of New York City shows a crowd attacking a car with bicycles during broad daylight.
“This was an animalistic attack in broad daylight,“ said one Manhattan officer to the New York Post. “It shows how far the city has deteriorated, and the politicians better get their heads out of the sand and start to deal with these problems before there is nothing left.”

“It was reported to police that on Tuesday, December 29, 2020, at approximately 1605 hours, a 36-year-old male victim was driving his 2019 BMW and stopped at the intersection of 5th Avenue and East 21st Street to allow a large group of bicyclists” to pass through, the New York Police Department told the Washington Examiner. “The damage to the vehicle is over $250. There were no reported injuries as a result of this incident.”
“Oh, it’s wild,” one man said in the video.
“The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals depicted in the attached surveillance photos and video wanted for questioning in regard to a criminal mischief incident that occurred within the confines of the 13th Precinct,” the NYPD said.
Multiple people were seen jumping on the hood of the car or throwing their bikes on it, while at least one man was seen jumping on the car’s windshield and breaking it.
The incident comes as New York has faced its most violent year in nearly a decade.
