"Bunch of beat-up cars that got smashed pretty good," witness Jack told 1010 WINS' Eileen Lehpamer. "A minivan there looks like aluminum foil."
"It's bad. It looks really bad," another witness told 1010 WINS.
It all started as police responded to a fight. Police say 20-year-old Michael DeLorenzo jumped into a white Ford Explorer and bounced it off car after car as he tried to make an escape down 35th Street.
"It was like a low rumble with thumping crashes," Jack said.
According to witnesses, DeLorenzo was caught when he flipped his SUV onto its side and tried to crawl out through the sunroof.
"He was still like trying to get out, and the cops like grabbed him," Jack said.
Among others, DeLorenzo was charged with marijuana possession and running two red lights.
