A CAR CHASE worthy of the video game Grand Theft Auto occurred in New York’s Upper East Side neighborhood. The event went viral on social media and the perpetrators were aiming to steal $20,000, police sources told local media Sunday.
In the video, which was recorded by a passerby on Saturday, a Mercedes is seen chasing a Toyota until it steals a black backpack, in which, police told the New York Post, there was $20,000.

In the images, we can see how the vehicles are going in the opposite direction and after colliding they continue to chase along the sidewalk until the black Mercedes manages, by hitting the other vehicle, to paralyze it.
Once the two vehicles are stopped, as can be seen in the video, a man gets out of the Mercedes and starts banging on the window of the Toyota.
“He’s got a gun, he’s got a gun,” one of the witnesses is heard shouting.
According to Police, the armed assailant managed to steal $20,000 from the Toyota.
The NYPD told the media outlet that the armed robbers abandoned their vehicle a few blocks away from the incident and that there were no injuries.
The whereabouts or identity of the robbers are not yet known.
