The driver had reportedly stopped at an intersection to allow the group to pass. The perpetrators were then seen punching the vehicle and hitting it with their bikes while smashing the windshield and damaging the hood.
“Once he smashed the glass, at that point my biggest fear was they’re going to get into the car, they’re going to pull me out and I could be killed,” the driver, Max Torgovnick, said. “And all I could hear was my mother crying and screaming. That’s what haunts me the most.”
The police said the boy in custody faces charges of riot and criminal mischief. The occupants weren’t injured in the attack and the incident remains under investigation.
Police also believe the group attacked a taxi cab earlier and injured the driver.
