The driver, Max Torgovnick, 36, recounted the harrowing ordeal that he and his mother experienced in an interview with The New York Post.
"That’s something like you would see on the streets of a war zone," said Torgovnick. "I never thought New York would get this bad."
According to Torgovnick, he and his mother, in her 70s, had just dropped off a donation to a nonprofit group working to address homelessness and the AIDS crisis when a bicycle gang of about 50 or so teenagers surrounded his vehicle.
"I slowed down to let them go by, but then they started surrounding the car on either side, and one of the bikers did a wheelie and went into the back of my car," recalled Torgovnick. "I stopped to make sure nobody was hurt."
That's when the group began attacking the vehicle and attempted to open the car's doors. Torgovnick said his mother screamed, "We're going to die, they're going to kill us," as she dialed 911. After one of the assailants shattered the windshield, Targovnick said he spotted an opening and managed to drive to safety.

It will get worse. Much worse. Wait until a Happy Meal costs $50.
But I beg him to stay in New York, and keep his voting pattern in New York.
The second that one punk threw the bike at my windshield that would have been a GO for me, run his ass over, crunch the bones. That happened around 10 years ago on the West side, these guys riding motorcycles harassed a guy and his wife in an SUV. They did the same thing, punching his windows, breaking the mirrors all caught on video, and the driver of the car ran them over paralyzing one they then chased him again and dragged him out of the car and beat him. He didn’t get charged at all, the bikers did one of whom was a cop if you can believe it.
Solution: A 2010 crown vic with 28” rims. Sound system with rap shaking the trunk lid. And a stocking cap. Don’t forget dark shoe polish.
I wonder if Max votes Democrap
So, was this BLM on BLM, or antifa on antifa, or good guys banging around some bad guys . . . or what?
Sad.
With one magazine and a steady hand, that would have been enough to take care of them all.
And sunglasses

“I never thought New York would get this bad.””
I wonder if he realizes how closely correlated those two actions are.
Does anyone else detect a possible flaw in this line of reasoning? He had an accelerator pedal controlling possibly hundreds of horse power that is transmitted to the drive train of his vehicle. Most of the bicyclists were capable of outputting a small fraction of a single horsepower. I realize that we are talking about city streets with traffic signals etc., but maybe it would still have been a better idea to accelerate away from them? Some of the group may have been irritated by his vehicle obstructing the flow of traffic.
I would think that if a bunch of people on bicycles are breaking your windows that it is reasonable to swerve into them.
I have heard the answer is yes, and rabidly so.
If AntAms (Leftists) had to live with the consequences of their decisions, things might not be as bad as they are.
But they don’t.
Don't tell me about what is "allowed" in NYC.
Would that be the signature series Northam polish?
Don’t even need a gun when they bring a bicycle to an automobile fight...
Early edition bloods and crips.
Part of me was so much hoping the driver was a bundler for the Democrat Party or upper West Side BLM supporter.
Turns out he was just an average guy and works as an office manager at a group doctors practice…..
Max. Just wait till Willie Browns Mistress is in charge. You will long for these halcyon days of bike throwing
