Multiple cars were heavily damaged, including a city bus, following an incident in front of an industrial loading zone in Sunset Park on 53rd Street between 1st and 2nd avenues.
Police say a man blocked the service doors with his truck and was being towed when he confronted the tow truck driver. They say he fought him in the street before getting behind the wheel.
Police say once the man stole the tow truck that had his own vehicle up on the hitch, he struck multiple vehicles and ultimately ended by going head-first into a city bus.
Now, details have not been released about his identity, but stunned drivers who discovered the damage say they don't understand why this happened.
"I need to call insurance or police, I need this car I need it to take my driver to school," said the owner of a heavily damaged car who identified himself as Giro to News12.
Upon seeing video of the incident, he said that he cannot afford the fix and hopes police can catch the suspect.
"He could have hurt someone really badly," he said.
