Shocking video has captured a group of teenagers kicking and punching the windows of a Tesla as it tried to escape an out-of-control street takeover in Chicago over the weekend.
Recording sent to Twitter showed a group of young men sitting in a vehicle and posing as they took pictures on their cellphones on Friday, prompting the driver to honk and inch forward in an apparent attempt to get the man out of his car.
The group then began hitting the hood of the white sedan, when one man yelled, “Oh st.”
At that point, the men started putting ski masks on their faces.
The footage then cuts to show two other vehicles doing donuts around each other on the opposite side of the road, as nearly 100 teenagers look on.
With the crowd distracted, the Tesla driver tried to ram into the crowd, apparently hitting one person, who could be seen rolling on the ground as the car passed.

As people approached the vehicle, they could be heard shouting, “F–k this car up” and “What the f–k bro?”
They then start kicking the vehicle, as the driver inside can be seen filming them.
