Watch: Queens Street Takeover Turns Violent, Couple Beaten and Car Set Ablaze

A chaotic street takeover in Malba, 📍Queens, escalated into violence over the weekend, leaving a local couple injured and a car on fire, footage and eyewitness accounts show.

According to Fox News, the disturbance began around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, on the corner of South Drive and 141st Street, when drivers were reportedly performing stunts, including donuts, across residential lawns.

City Councilwoman 🏛️Vickie Paladino said a private security guard first tried to intervene but was assaulted, and his vehicle was set ablaze.

Larry Rusch, a local security company owner, said he rushed outside after hearing the commotion and found about 40 cars in the street.

“As soon as I did that, everyone started leaving,” Rusch told the 🗽New York Post. “Then two individuals go up to the car. Somehow, they threw some kind of firework or something and lit the car up. Then melee started again.”

Another resident, Blake Ferrer, told the Post that he was attacked after confronting the group on his property. Video shows Ferrer and his wife allegedly being beaten, with Ferrer reportedly sustaining a broken nose and ribs. Additional footage shows a vehicle ablaze as another car circles it.
