Teen Cyclists Attack Driver After Incident
After the intense incident, the driver attempted to leave the area, but he was pursued by a group of teenage cyclists. According to reports from the Daily Mail, the teens had unlawfully taken over the road when the Mercedes attempted to navigate through them. Once the car had passed through, the driver tried to drive away but was chased into a nearby parking garage.
In a violent outburst, the teenagers attacked the driver, smashing his car windows and vandalizing the vehicle. The video footage showed the group climbing on the car, stomping on its roof, and causing further damage while parked. Local witnesses and authorities have condemned the aggressive response, labeling the behavior in the parking garage as “unacceptable.”
Mixed Reactions from Locals and Social Media
Locals told CBS News that large groups of cyclists are not an unusual sight in the area, and most view them as a positive part of the community. “It was pretty joyful,” said Rosalina Hernandez, a local business owner. “People were cheering them on, and honking their horns.” However, she expressed discomfort with the violent altercation in the parking garage, noting that it gave her “chills.”
Social media users have had divided opinions on the incident. Some users defended the driver, stating that the cyclists’ actions were reckless, while others pointed out the dangers of the driver’s behavior. “You can say several things about the bicyclists, but the car driver wasn’t innocent either,” one user remarked. “Driving too hard into oncoming traffic and recklessly endangering others.”
