A rowdy mob pummeled a Queens couple and set a car ablaze when the residents and other locals tried to stop a wild car meet-up in their neighborhood early Sunday, according to the victims and video.
The disturbing attack occurred when a bunch of out-of-control drivers descended on South Drive and 141 Street in Malba, doing donuts and speeding over lawns around 12:30 a.m.
“When I came out, I said, ‘Bro, you gotta get the f–k off my property,’ and that’s when it all started,” victim Blake Ferrer told The Post.
Video shows a group of about a dozen ruffians kicking, punching and stomping Ferrer, who was left with a broken nose and ribs. His wife was also hit.
Ferrer was “lucky he wasn’t killed,” said disgusted City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, who represents the neighborhood.
Larry Rusch, 59, a local whose car was set on fire, said it “was a complete melee.”
Rusch, who owns a security company, said he first heard the reckless drivers performing donuts and rushed outside to see about 40 cars.
He said he parked a company car in the intersection to try to prevent the rogue drivers from continuing their chaos.
“As soon as I did that, everyone started leaving,” he said.

Leave it on the street and in a couple of hours those usable tires would be gone!!!
Ne’er-do-wells.
“New York is a CESSPOOL”
Yes but at least a cesspool serves a useful & necessary purpose.
Article said several armed citizens showed restraint. I would have shot their tires, and I would probably be the one arrested. Back in my day with muscle cars we would do burnouts and race but at a dragstrip or abandoned shopping center’s parking lot. Never took over a neighborhood. Punks, not “ruffians” is what they are.
Mob/gang/collective v individuals.
Yeah, once you've got their plate numbers, there's no need to light them up.
These ghetto crawlers did this in the "wrong" neighborhood. They'll be very lucky if the victims go to the police. I suspect more than a few of the perpetrators have already left town.
The goal now is to flaunt the law and annoy and disrespect the respectable.
The citizens are on their own.
Any reports in demographics? But...I suppose that there aren’t any...and the use of colorful metaphors and euphemisms tells the tale. Right Yogi?
Giving them what they voted for.
Wow 😮
“Let those woke progressive White women defend themselves from the onslaught they voted for.

Annoying people.
Malba Queens NY is actually an upscale area on the north shore just as you drive over Whitestone Br from Bronx.
