A group of drivers caused chaos on the streets in Philadelphia’s Spring Garden neighborhood over the weekend. This isn’t the first time a street 'takeover' has happened, and residents say they are fed up.
Pavlock says he filed a complaint with the police but has gotten very few answers, which is shocking to many other neighbors who have voiced their concerns after situations like this have happened in the recent past.
"Who knows what could happen, in a scene like that where crazy people, knowing that they’re breaking the law, knowing that the police are going to come, and they only have this much time to do what they want to do, it’s just very unsafe," said Elizabeth Robb who was hosting a sleepover when things began to spiral out of control right outside her window. "You would think police would be prepared if this has happened around the city before. That scares me a little more.
The crowd dispersed after police arrived, but the same crowd reportedly moved to other locations throughout the city after being broken up in Old City. This most recent "takeover" in Spring Garden ended similarly to the one in Old City. Police responded and dispersed the crowds, but no arrests were made.
FOX 29’s Ellen Kolodziej reached out to the Philadelphia Police Department to try to get a comment, but did not get a response.
