A lawless mob wreaked fiery havoc on a Queens intersection during a late-night car takeover as local lawmakers demand a crackdown on these unhinged meetups.<\/p>\n

Shocking video shows reckless drivers whipping around the intersection at 69th Street and Eliot Avenue in Queens early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Over 100 vehicles clogged up the roads along the Maspeth-Middle Village border.<\/p>\n

The late-night car chaos happened around the intersection at 69th Street and Eliot Avenue in Maspeth on Friday. youtube\/@PhilWongNYC<\/p>\n

A man appeared to wave a Palestinian flag as he burned rubber, just narrowly missing those standing around the car while it made donuts around a massive street blaze.<\/p>\n

Flames arose from the street as hordes of brazen participants filmed the dangerous drivers \u2013 who sped off as cops arrived.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night was a zoo,\u201d one neighbor, who didn\u2019t share her name, told The Post. \u201cWhen that ring of fire came out, that scared the hell out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councilman Phil Wong (D-Queens) slammed the incident as \u201cdisgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kind of reckless behavior is an attack on our quality of life, and it cannot be tolerated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said three people jumped on top of the responding police car and shattered its windshield \u2013 but the culprits got away.<\/p>\n

At least one of the drivers was issued a citation for blocking a crosswalk and the case is under investigation, cops said.<\/p>\n

Cops responded to the incident around 1:50 a.m., about one minute after first being notified, according to police.<\/p>\n

An NYPD spokesman said that within minutes of their arrival, nearly everyone involved had dispersed.<\/p>\n

Wong has demanded a meeting with cops and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch about the ongoing issue plaguing Queens communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to question what the NYPD intel is doing. How do 100 cars come to a sleepy neighborhood like Middle Village? The chaos needs to end,\u201d a Wong rep told The Post.<\/p>\n

The police spokesperson reiterated that cops arrived about a minute after receiving calls about the incident.<\/p>\n

Resident Danny DiMaggio, 58, agreed with Wong that there needs to be a \u201cstronger police presence.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said similar meetups have happened in the area \u201csporadically\u201d \u2014 but never to this alarming extent.\u00a0\u201cMy wife didn\u2019t sleep the rest of the night. It was chaotic,\u201d DiMaggio added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A lawless mob wreaked fiery havoc on a Queens intersection during a late-night car takeover as local lawmakers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202089,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,56,63,65,64,8430,17992,80112,80111],"class_list":{"0":"post-202088","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-ny","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-nyc-headlines","12":"tag-nyc-news","13":"tag-phil-wong","14":"tag-police-car","15":"tag-queens-intersection","16":"tag-the-intersection"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202088","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=202088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202088\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
