Police said two people were arrested following a dispute about driving that spilled out onto a busy Yonkers street on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to a video that News 12 obtained, the fight involved multiple women fighting each other right in the middle of Nepperhan Avenue.<\/p>\n
\tThe video was filmed by Fathi Ali, a gas station worker who said he watched the dispute unfold alongside a priest.<\/p>\n
\t“He put his car here and he saw the fight. It’s actually kind of funny because one of the customers came inside and screamed to the priest, ‘Father, they need a blessing,’ Ali said.<\/p>\n
\tYonkers police said the fight started over a dispute about entering and exiting a parking lot the wrong way.<\/p>\n
Police said it escalated when a person reached through a car window and took a purse. This alleged action caused the confrontation to spill into the street.<\/p>\n
One of the people in the video, who wants to remain anonymous, shares why they stepped in to help and break up the fight.<\/p>\n
\t“I was right here. I initially thought it was a car accident, but then when I went up close, I seen them hitting each other,” the witness said.<\/p>\n
\tThe witness said they didn’t realize they knew one of the women until after they stepped in to help.<\/p>\n
\t“It was my cousin’s brother’s wife…I felt terrible, but thank God I was there to help them,” the witness said.<\/p>\n
\tPolice said an adult woman and a girl were taken into custody in connection with the incident. The adult faces robbery and assault charges.<\/p>\n
Another man in Yonkers called for more human decency.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s kind of ridiculous how people don’t have a shame to do that in the streets, in the middle of the road, not caring, there could be a distracted driver,” the man said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police said two people were arrested following a dispute about driving that spilled out onto a busy Yonkers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[3283,128,5945,9,24,63,17689,129,131,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-185539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-arrests","9":"tag-bronx","10":"tag-landmark","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-nyc","14":"tag-road-rage","15":"tag-the-bronx","16":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","17":"tag-the-bronx-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
