The Brief<\/p>\n

Police responded to reports of drag racing in Queens early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Three people jumped onto a marked NYPD vehicle, damaging it before running away.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK – A police response to a drag racing gathering in Queens turned chaotic when individuals climbed onto a patrol vehicle and damaged it.<\/p>\n

What we know<\/p>\n

Officers responded around 1:49 a.m. April 18 to multiple 911 calls reporting drag racing near Eliot Avenue and 69th Street within the 104 Precinct.<\/p>\n

Police say officers arrived within a minute and activated lights and sirens to disperse the gathering.<\/p>\n

Most vehicles and attendees left the area without incident.<\/p>\n

During the dispersal, three unidentified individuals jumped onto the hood of a marked police vehicle, causing damage and cracking the windshield.<\/p>\n

The individuals then fled in a vehicle in an unknown direction.<\/p>\n

What Happened Next<\/p>\n

At the direction of the precinct\u2019s commanding officer, additional units canvassed surrounding streets to deter further reckless driving.<\/p>\n

During that canvass, one motorist was issued a summons for blocking a crosswalk.<\/p>\n

What we don’t know<\/p>\n

Police have not released descriptions of the individuals involved.<\/p>\n

What’s next<\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
