A lawless mob wreaked fiery havoc on a Queens intersection during a late-night car takeover as local lawmakers demand a crackdown on these unhinged meetups.
Shocking video shows reckless drivers whipping around the intersection at 69th Street and Eliot Avenue in Queens early Saturday morning.
Over 100 vehicles clogged up the roads along the Maspeth-Middle Village border.
A man appeared to wave a Palestinian flag as he burned rubber, just narrowly missing those standing around the car while it made donuts around a massive street blaze.
Flames arose from the street as hordes of brazen participants filmed the dangerous drivers – who sped off as cops arrived.
“Last night was a zoo,” one neighbor, who didn’t share her name, told The Post. “When that ring of fire came out, that scared the hell out of me.”
Councilman Phil Wong (D-Queens) slammed the incident as “disgusting.”
“This kind of reckless behavior is an attack on our quality of life, and it cannot be tolerated,” he said.
He said three people jumped on top of the responding police car and shattered its windshield – but the culprits got away.
At least one of the drivers was issued a citation for blocking a crosswalk and the case is under investigation, cops said.
Cops responded to the incident around 1:50 a.m., about one minute after first being notified, according to police.

Crackdown? Good luck with that.
“ Well, at least it was not a bunch of Indian illegals with CDLs in overturned trucks blocking the intersection. I’ll take Amish yutes in stolen cars doing the blocking over that any day of the week.”

I can’t disagree with that.👍🏻
You, asked for it, you got it, Mamdani!
If the vids are handed over to the NYPD. The intersection of the neighborhoods of Maspeth and Middle Village have a history of interesting residents. Residents who might ask for those vids to do their own investigation and hand out their own justce. I know that area well. Very Well.
He should consult with his relative Sum Ting.
Can you really ban Cannonball Run’s Captain Chaos?
Where were all the social workers? Did any respond?
Every street leading away from the scene should have been quickly lined with tire spikes, then have plenty of patrol cars waiting to pull over participants or at least get license numbers. Cars that can be proven in court to have been involved should be subject to confiscation and drivers big fines and jail time.
It’s called proactive policing. These car wildings would very soon come to an end.
The police need to shoot to kill every single participant...
A couple of times doing that, and the violence would diminish greatly...
Law making is the highest form of virtue signaling the politicians can do.
What is more useless than making more laws for people to ignore and police to not enforce?
What job security...,.
Boy I’m sure glad that riotous youths didn’t harm any black lives matters murals or crosswalks. Whew!
New York City police are like the security guards at any California Walmart. They are only there for appearances and don’t have any real power. The only way we have any civilization left is that the lawbreakers are restraining themselves.
Where oh where were the social workers?
69th Street and Eliot Avenue in Queens early Saturday morning.
I drive thru that very intersection regularly. Not a bad area at all.
If there were that many cars at Eliot and 69th the cops could have trapped them all easily by sweeping in from both ends of the respective streets and covering Metropolitan Ave. No way could that many cars move out quickly.
