Vickie Paladino, a member of the New York City<\/a> Council, posted a wild video of a bunch of reckless drivers speeding over lawns and doing donuts shortly after midnight on Sunday in Malba, a wealthy Queens <\/a>neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The councilwoman claimed that a private security guard tried to defuse the situation, but the mob attacked him and set his car on flames. The video shows members of the mob watching as cars speed around the blazing vehicle.<\/p>\n

NYC couple attacked<\/p>\n

Victims Blake Ferrer and his spouse were assaulted after attempting to remove the unruly group from their premises.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came out, I said, \u2018Bro, you gotta get the f*** off my property,\u2019 and that\u2019s when it all started,\u201d Ferrer told The New York Post.<\/p>\n

A group of approximately 12 people kicked, punched, and stomped on Ferrer, resulting in a broken nose and ribs. His wife was also attacked during the incident.<\/p>\n

Ferrer was fortunate to have survived, Paladino, the neighborhood representative, told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u2018A complete melee\u2019 in Malba<\/p>\n

Larry Rusch, 59, the owner of a security firm, reported that his car was set ablaze, describing the situation as \u201ca complete melee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rusch clarified that he placed his car in the middle of the junction to stop the group from racing through the area, but they then used fireworks to set his car on fire.<\/p>\n

While his wife hurriedly contacted the police, a woman who saw the security guard’s car engulfed in flames hurried over and saw her neighbor being attacked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police have been very responsive to everything, unfortunately, last night, that wasn\u2019t the case. While she was on the phone, it took them 45 minutes, I stayed with him until the police arrived,\u201d the neighbor said, as per ABC 7 New York.<\/p>\n

While residents in the area have demanded increased police presence, officials are yet to give an update if any arrests were made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A couple in New York City was brutally attacked after attempting to stop an aggressive mob from descending…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[28643,11204,28645,9,24,63,122,124,123,28644,28646],"class_list":{"0":"post-51521","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-aggressive-mob","9":"tag-car-fire","10":"tag-car-meet-up","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-nyc","14":"tag-queens","15":"tag-queens-headlines","16":"tag-queens-news","17":"tag-security-guard","18":"tag-vehicles-on-fire"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51521","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=51521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
