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.”

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.

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

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.

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
