Road take-over by bicyclists leads to vandalism, prompts investigation in Mid-City [Video]

MID-CITY, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a vandalism case that may be related to a frightening road rage incident involving a white Mercedes-Benz and dozens of bicyclists in the Mid City area on Saturday.

Videos posted on social media show the driver of a white, C-class Mercedes sedan weaving in and out of a crowd of bicyclists who had filled three westbound lanes of Olympic Boulevard near Highland Avenue.

That driver came close to striking the cyclists several times during the incident.

LAPD was called but when officers arrived, the crowd of cyclists and the driver of the car were gone.

Later that afternoon, LAPD says it received a vandalism complaint involving that same Mercedes near Wilshire and La Brea. A video posted to X shows a group of people jumping on and kicking the car as it sat parked.
