Motorcyclist Kicks Car Windshield in Heated Philadelphia Clash
A startling incident unfolded on the streets of Philadelphia, as a motorcyclist was caught on camera booting a car’s rear windshield. The dispute between the biker and the car’s driver took place around 9 p.m. on Sunday, right in the heart of the city, in the 1400 block of South Penn Square, according to Philadelphia police.
Suspect at Large, Tattoo and Gold Decal Key Clues
The suspect, who remains on the run, was reportedly armed with a handgun. The Philadelphia Police Department has released photos in an attempt to identify the individual, focusing on a tattoo on the biker’s right forearm and a gold decal on the helmet. Authorities are seeking this biker for charges related to vandalism and aggravated assault. If you have any information about this incident, please contact the police.
On Two Wheels in Center City
A video of the incident reveals the suspect amidst a large group of motorcycle and ATV riders in the bustling Center City neighborhood. While waiting at a red light, the driver of an ATV and a red sedan engaged in a heated verbal exchange.
Dispute Escalates
The sedan’s driver, Nikki Bullock, shared her account with FOX 29 Philadelphia. Bullock, who was delivering Uber Eats orders with a friend in the front seat and two children in the back, explained how her car was sideswiped by the suspect. This collision set off a dispute with both the suspect and the ATV driver.
“We were arguing back and forth because he hit the car, so after that, his friend in front of me, he was arguing with me, and while I’m arguing with his friend, he jumped off the bike, jumped on the back of the car, and kicked the windshield in,” Bullock recounted.
Confrontation and Gunpoint
Video footage captures the suspect, who was stopped directly behind the ATV, dismounting his motorcycle and jumping onto Bullock’s car. He proceeded to kick in the back windshield. Bullock confronted the assailant, who allegedly pointed a handgun at her.
“I didn’t see [the gun] hit the floor at all until he picked it up,” Bullock recalled. “He pointed it at me; I couldn’t hear anything he was saying, I was screaming at him.”
Tense Standoff
As the suspect returned to his motorcycle, he headbutted and shoved Bullock, who then pushed him away as he tried to get back on his bike.
“He pointed [the gun] at me, and then he put it away, and I was like ‘whatever, shoot me then, you’re not going to shoot me,’ and then he headbutted me with the helmet, and we were just going back-and-forth after that,” Bullock described.
Thankfully, the other occupants of Bullock’s car were unharmed during this distressing incident. Several generous individuals have offered to assist with the cost of a new windshield, and a few auto glass replacement companies have extended their services as well.
