The BMW driver whose ride was surrounded and trashed by a gang of bicyclists on Fifth Avenue was attacked in broad daylight while driving with his elderly mom — who screamed during their escape, “We’re going to die, they’re going to kill us!”

Max Torgovnick, 36, recounted the harrowing run-in to The Post one day after it unfolded around 4 p.m. Tuesday at 21st Street and Fifth Avenue.

“It’s something that I never expected to happen in New York City,” said Torgovnick, a lifelong city resident. “That’s something like you would see on the streets of a war zone. I never thought New York would get this bad.”

They cyclists were just mad that they haven't received their reparations protection money yet.

Most of these weren’t the peddle-yourself-along type of bikes. Many of them were e-bikes, which can go very fast, make a lot of high-pitched noise, and are a favorite for these aggressive gangs, who often use them to swarm pedestrians and autos. Also, this group was a lot bigger than you see in the photo.

Take a look at some of the other videos and you’ll see why the victims were so terrified.

Reminence of the movie Warriors.

*Warriors. Come out, come out to play*

How can I spend less than $2/gallon for fuel by the beach and still think Mad Max is upon us?

Hmmm...

First 3 replies: Here we go - trashing the person the story is about. Don’t have to have a reason - just feel like it, right?

Sounds like something right out of Mad Max. Did these bicyclists look something like this?

[Daffynition]

I was listening to Curtis Sliwa on the radio today; he said another *bike* problem are the large numbers of motorcycle trail bikers [no tags, no helmets] racing up and down the streets and sidewalks of Manhattan. Cops turn a blind eye.

I saw the video...if it were me behind the wheel, at least 2 of them would be in the hospital with tire tracks on their chest.

So true, these kind of things happen in Quaker areas all the time. s/

Time to Wall off these “Progressive” enclaves Including concertina wire at the top. Like East Germany.
Colonizations must be deterred.

Good point. Even after I posted against blaming the victims — we see posts that do just that. Sometimes it’s like talking to rocks
