The NYPD has been cracking down on such dangerous events. Dakota Santiago/FreedomNewsTVThe raucous road race was just the latest in a series of recent street take-overs by maniac drivers in the city.
A 100-person event in April saw an intersection in the sleepy neighborhood of Middle Village in Queens turn into a hellish nightmare, with daredevils doing donuts around a ring of fire.
Another vehicle takeover in sleepy Malba, Queens, turned ugly when a mob of unruly drivers set a local’s car on fire and beat a couple outside their house.
Cops quickly cuffed suspects in both incidents.
Officers also nabbed Winston Pat and Asil Assadi just days after their alleged participation in the dangerous Middle Village meet-up.
