Chaotic video shows the moment hordes of young street racers descended upon a Georgia intersection in the middle of the night last weekend, wreaking havoc and disturbing neighbors in the latest illegal “takeover” plaguing communities across the country.
Officers with the Atlanta Police Department were dispatched to the intersection of James Jackson Parkway and Bolton Road around 1:30 a.m. Sunday over reports of street racers “driving recklessly, blocking the roadway from citizen motorists, laying drag and performing illegal drifting maneuvers, also known as ‘donuts,’” authorities said in a statement.
Upon arriving on scene, officers discovered a “large gathering” of approximately 200 individuals gathered in the intersection.
Surveillance video shared by the department shows various cars speeding by as the massive crowd gathered in the street to record the chaos on their cellphones.
As officers attempted to break up the event, several individuals fled the scene on foot and in vehicles.
Body camera video revealed the moment officers pursued one individual on foot, as additional officers conducted traffic stops involving two vehicles nearby, the department said.
“You better stop before I Tase you,” the officer can be heard yelling as the suspect ran into a neighboring residential area.
The individual was subsequently detained and taken into custody.
Following the incident, 18 individuals between the ages of 17 and 25 were arrested, according to authorities. A 15-year-old juvenile was also issued multiple citations stemming from the alleged street racing.
Authorities also recovered multiple firearms in the search, and both vehicles involved in the traffic stop were impounded.
“The Atlanta Police Department extends its appreciation to the Georgia State Patrol for their continued partnership and assistance,” the department said in a statement.
