Horrifying footage of a car speeding through a residential Los Angeles neighborhood and almost crashing into a mob of cyclists is circulating on social media.
The video revealed a white Mercedes-Benz zooming through the street while dodging cyclists and even veering into the wrong side of the road.
The vehicle swerved through the cyclists and just narrowly missed them as screams could be heard in the background.
The cyclists yelled at one another to ‘move’ and ‘watch out’ for the unhinged vehicle.
The Mercedes-Benz continued to speed around the bikers, narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic.
A separate clip appeared to show the same cyclists attacking the car in a parking garage.
A mob of people stomped on the car and smashed the windows in. Another person in a gray jacket fled the scene as others chased after him.
It’s unclear if the person running away was the driver from the first video. The Los Angeles Police Department have yet to confirm the details of the incident.

The car was spotted in the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood of Los Angeles and almost crashed into the cyclists heading down Olympic Boulevard.
Locals in the area told CBS News that it isn’t uncommon for large groups of cyclists to ride through the neighborhood.
Rosalina Hernandez, a local business owner, told the outlet that her customers were cheering the cyclists on as they cruised down the road.
‘It was pretty joyful. The customers that were outside were cheering them on and people were honking,’ Hernandez told CBS.
Her tone changed when commenting on the violence in the parking garage, calling the behavior ‘unacceptable’ and adding that it gave her ‘chills.’
Social media users expressed mixed reactions to the viral videos with some defending the driver’s behavior while others sided with the bikers.
‘The bikers are the ones illegally driving in the streets obstructing all traffic lanes,’ one comment read, while another agreed, ‘The driver is a hero, we need more people like him.’

However, some viewers were more critical, with one writing, ‘Is there only one street in this city? The entitlement of car drivers to think they own the streets is perplexing.’
Although it’s unclear if anyone was injured in these videos, the incident is the latest in traffic violence plaguing Los Angeles.
Traffic deaths in the city reached its highest reported number in 2024, according to data compiled by Streets Are For Everyone.
