A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after a gang of 25 teenagers launched a brazen attack on a luxury SUV while the driver and his terrified 74-year-old mother sat inside fearing they would be killed. Horrifying video shows a gang on bicycles smashing up Max Torgovnick's BMW on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue in broad daylight on Tuesday. Torgovnick, who hails from the Upper East Side, was behind the wheel when the mob started leaping on the vehicle and stomping on its windshield as his elderly mother wept beside him and screamed 'They are going to kill us'. The 15-year-old boy,

Obviously the federal government's responsibility to make up the shortfall triggered by the city's $1 billion defunding of the police. /s

They should interrogate the little monster until he "snitches" on all his friends. Then announce he has done so. Then release him to the streets. After all, we are not cruel as a society. don't want to jail "juveniles."

Judging from the pictures I’m not sure these kids are black but they sure as heck aren’t white. The DM is so cute, though. Rather than being informative with facts, they choose the weenie route: these thugs are “teens”, “youngsters” and “teenagers.” No, they are criminals and need to be taken off our streets for a very long time. Max Torgovnick needs to arm himself before ever taking a woman, child or elder anywhere in NYC. Be a man, Max.

And if the driver hit the gas pedal and creamed a couple of the 'youngsters' he'd be the person in jail. Meanwhile - the 'minor' who was arrested will get a stern talking to and be otherwise held blameless.

Would anyone object if I started selling little plastic banana with BLM on them. They can be used to toss them at these savages when we see them in groups. Just a thought.

This is what NYC was like before Giuliani became Mayor in '94. I think it will get worse before Deblasio can be removed and the clean up this time will be even harder.

Wouldn't a sane (scared, yes, but SANE) driver simply start driving slowly forward so as to avoid hurting any of them until he forced these kids (who oddly look like they might be Obama's sons, IF Obama had sons) to keep up with him and eventually either chase him or drop behind him until he safely got away from them?
I mean, he's inside a ton or so of metal while they're on bicycles! "KnowwhatIsayin?"
Or, maybe check his rearview mirrors and if no one is back there just throw it in reverse and book out backwards until he could turn down an intersecting street and speed away from them?
Are those responses too simple for this "36-year-old son of a neurologist from Upper East Side"?
I read another account somewhere in which the driver said he felt "sorry" for these "boys" because they were not "raised to know better".
What are the chances this "36-year-old son of a neurologist from Upper East Side" is a woke liberal DeBlasio and Cuomo voter who wants to defund the police?

What are the odds - - that Max Torgovnick of the Upper East Side - - voted for De Blasio, Cuomo, and Biden?
Do you think he hit the Pick Three? Yup - - I'm thinking so.

Decades ago a doctor told me he didn't have 'MD' 'tags on his car because druggies were breaking into them.
I suggest the doctor exchange the vanity tags for a 9 MM. The NY Sullivan law or not.

The worst part is the cops are not a deterrent any longer. They're not afraid of them either. No-Go zone.

Re MD plates--bad idea for any doctor, according to my brother who's been one for a few decades. You're a target for addicts and also for cops.
Apparently the BMW is licensed to the father who is a doctor. Max appears to be a typical UES soyboy son. I could be wrong, but no mention of what HE does is in the article.

As a 75 year old senior citizen, I have a 'Conceal Carry Permit' for this very reason. I can't imagine the outright terror the driver and passenger experienced in the attack. These punks are terrorist and should be dealt with that in mind.
It's easy to be a 'Monday Morning Quarterback' after something like this happening. But, my thought was... You have a 4500 pound car to protect you and your loved ones, run the animals over if your life feels threatened. Don't stop and wait for the attack to continue, just floor it and in the process, call 911 as you are fleeing so it's on record of the attack.
Do I want to shoot a fifteen year old feral ghetto punk? No, but then again I don't want to be pulled out of my car and allow these scum of the earth to beat me within an inch of my life, or worse. Lock and load people.

I thought "teen gang" meant black hoodlums and "Black Lies Matter." There was everything but the fire.
I will never again enter an Eastern US city.

How hard is to get a gun in NY and keep it in your glove box? From what I've read, it's very hard. I read an article about 10 years ago that in Buffalo, NY, you have to register your guns and the police check the obituaries to make sure the deceased, with registered guns, can't pass them on to family members before the guns are confiscated and re-registered. That seems to be a bit unconstitutional, doesn't it? Oh well. They voted for it and I'll never live there.

Ok folks...proof is in the photos. The bikers were MULTI-racial. They were not all "Amish". So, we need not jump to racial conclusions every time.

Yes #7...I would be disgusted. We are better than that. Besides, these kids aren't BLM (they look mulit-racial) and more appropriate would be hammer & sickle keychains for BLM anyway.

Since I'm a local, I will state for the record that Max and Mom were idiots to take the car out of the UES garage, period. Too much traffic, lights, out of town drivers with little city smarts, crazy taxi drivers, and no place to park unless there's a convenient lot. The BMW's for weekends and vacations, up the FDR to the Harlem River to the GWB etc.
New York rules are that you take a Uber or Lyft to make the dropoff at Housing Works (their hearts were in the right place), then ask the driver to take the long way home so Mom can see the Christmas decorations.
I know this seems foreign to most of the country but in a city like NY it's just easier.

The Democrats should try to control their feral, fatherless youth; but they won't, because as long as they can keep them angry, resentful, and vengeful, they will grow up to become reliable Democrat voters.

That was a full chimpout with absolutely no fear of consequences. It was more like an African jungle than a civilized country. And I have to wonder if the uptown pantywaist will still be so understanding in the future.

In almost all articles and reports about this incident, these young thugs were described as members of a "bicycle club". Nope - they were young, mostly black gang members intent on terrorizing people of other races particularly whites. Bill de Blasio will make sure that if any are arrested, they will be released without consequence. We are all watching a terrible horror movie but we do not seem to have a device with which to turn it off.

New aspect to the story is "bike outs," evidently a twist on "polar bear hunting" or "the knockout game." We hear all about isolated instances of police violence against bLACK troublemakers, but widespread targeted "random" attacks by bLACK people against people of other races are swept under the rug and in fact probably a thoughtcrime to consider.
