"The FDNY was already on the scene and extinguished the blaze in an unoccupied 2009 Ford Fusion sedan, which was severely damaged. A 50-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were approached by a group of unidentified individuals when one of the strangers punched the woman in the face, while a number of other attackers forced the man to the ground, where he was punched and kicked multiple times throughout his body, police said."
"The neighbor drove his company car into the gathering and tried to reason with the crowd who set the vehicle alight with fireworks, an NYPD spokesman said Sunday. Police from the 109th Precinct responded to multiple 911 calls of a motor vehicle on fire at 114th Street and 11th Avenue at around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 23.

A 50-car meet-up involving drag racing and donuts on a Malba street escalated into violence early Sunday. A neighbor drove his company car into the gathering to intervene and the crowd set the vehicle alight with fireworks. FDNY extinguished the burning 2009 Ford Fusion. A 50-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were confronted by unidentified individuals; the woman was punched and declined medical attention, and the man was beaten, transported to New York-Presbyterian Queens and listed in stable condition. No arrests have been made. Council Member Vickie Paladino criticized the response and secured four dedicated patrol cars.
