Viral video shows dozens of teenagers attacking a BMW bearing medical license plates on the streets of Manhattan.
As the panicked driver attempts to flee — without running the toddlers over — some of the teens tried to hitch a ride on the car’s exterior.
Video footage shows teens kicking the car and punching the windows. A few of the youngsters jumped on the car’s hood. Another kid slammed his bike down on the hood.
One teen jumped on the car’s windshield with both feet, shattering the glass.

Other videos show teens on bicycles chasing after the BMW and circling the car menacingly. 1 of the bikers slammed into the car when the driver hit the brake, resulting in a bloody lip.
If you’re wondering where the cops were during the chaos, the city defunded them months ago. They only show up for emergencies now.
East 20s, #Manhattan, New York, earlier today. ~25 – 50 mixed-age teenagers on BMX bicycles descend onto the streets. Two grab onto a car driving by to catch a ride. The driver breaks & 1 of the bikers crashes into something, resulting in a bloody lip. Next is below. #FundPolice pic.twitter.com/qXowgJG9S4
