*Police are searching for the driver and passenger of a black Mercedes after they crashed into an SUV multiple times to rob a man at gunpoint in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
The chaotic scene took place just before 5 p.m. Saturday, when police say a black Mercedes-Benz came charging down the road after the driver of a silver Toyota Rav-4, in an apparent high-speed chase.
Footage from a witness shows the moment the Mercedes rammed into the Toyota, forcing it to become cornered on the sidewalk. A passenger is then seen jumping out of the passenger side of the Mercedes, and approaching the Toyota. A bystander is heard in the video yelling,”he’s got a gun, he’s got a gun.” This is when police say the armed assailant stole $20,000 from the victim, before jumping back inside the Mercedes and driving off.
According to NYPD officials, the armed robbers ditched the banged-up Mercedes a few blocks from the crime scene before fleeing. There were no reports of any injuries, and the incident is currently under investigation.
