A Queens parking spot dispute exploded into a wild road rage rampage, with one driver sucker-punching the other before crashing his car through the glass storefront of a newly-opened bakery, police said Tuesday.
An enraged Jie Zou jumped from behind the wheel of his white Audi as another vehicle angled for the coveted space, slugging the other driver in the face before ruining the grand opening of the Rainbow Bakery by plowing his vehicle six feet inside the fledgling business, cops said.
Terrifying cellphone video captured Zou making a U-turn and slamming his car into his rival, who went bouncing off the Audi’s hood as the car accelerated across four lanes of traffic and through the glass — with one terrified customer exiting through the rubble while another lies dazed on the sidewalk.
Zou’s bat-wielding passenger, Jonathan Zhang, whacked in the arm a 34-year-old man defending the other driver in the 3:55 p.m. ruckus. The rival driver, identified as Zong Li, 35, of Belford, N.J., at one point managed to wrest the bat away and smashed it against the Audi’s hood before he was nearly run down, the video shows.
“It’s just for a parking space,” said devastated bakery owner John Lo as he stood Tuesday in the wreckage. “It’s like a movie, right?”
Lo, who hopes to reopen in a month, returned to survey a business reduced to shattered glass and twisted metal. The ruined store is now shuttered with a metal grate pulled down over its front.
“Very sad,” said the 45-year-old businessman. “We put a lot (of money) in for the renovation and then ... (he) almost destroyed it all ... It’s lucky it’s the first day, not too many know we are open. And at the time, nobody in here. Nobody hurt, nobody died."

That was pretty funny
Flushing is now officially the Beijing of NY.
It happened in Flushing, so it makes perfect sense.
The guy didn’t even need the parking place!
He got to park inside.
Never bring a bat to a car fight
Some.
Ting.
Wong...
Well that escalated quickly.
Good thing so many foreigners here now right, nazi Soros?
You pronounced it wrong, it’s “Frushing”
Sonny in the movie A Bronx Tale, was good in resolving parking disputes.
This isn’t just NY going through this.
I’ve noticed everyone, myself included, are on the edge of a violent nervous breakdown.
We are all good people who are trying our best to beat the odds and make life great for everyone … But we also desire everyone around us to think and behave like we do.
I’m pro-mask. I’m anti-vaccine. Put me in a room even with another freeper who disagrees and you’ll see sparks fly.
The biggest thing we’re missing in our society is the mindset to just leave people alone to live their lives they want to. Also, We seem to missing this thing in our brains that make it really sink in that China is worse than WW2 Germany.
We should be invading them, not buying their slave-made products while they have Urgyurs in concentration camps, people in re-education centers, Falongong organs being sold from peaceful political dissidents Christians being forced to worship Xi and a dystopian social media system that allows them to buy products and live in homes only if they actively praise the CCP.
If our grandfathers were here now, alive and able-bodied they would book their own flights to China to fight them in the battlefield. But for us Christmas is almost here and we need stuff to put on our trees.
Anyone seen Alec Baldwin?
beat me to it!
Over here in San Fran Bay Area, many restaurants have begun serving outside. They will construct booths that extend into the street about six to eight feet. Is something like this happening in New York too? It results in a very narrow two way street, with almost no place to park.
Everybody was kung fu fighting.
Must have been the last marble rye.
