Five police officers have been injured as they tried to separate a Manhattan melee after high school pupils attacked a cab driver they thought had clipped their friend.
The chaos erupted in Hell's Kitchen, New York, where the teens believed the driver had struck a 16-year-old with his vehicle - video that emerged later would prove otherwise.
Footage allegedly shows the teenager running out onto 52nd Street and 8th Avenue, where he then crashes into the taxi on Thursday at around 2.40pm.
A large group of students then tried to break into the cab to attack the driver and instead kicked and punched the vehicle, an NYPD spokesperson told PIX11.
They ignored police orders to stop and disperse, before going onto attack officers, five of whom suffered minor injuries.

Time to use Double OO rubber shot gun rounds
they bounce and knock em down like bowling pins
once the criminal element is met with force like this...
this bull chit will slow down.

Or they will fire back using real rounds.
Were they using buckets of water?
That’s how u train animals
Hell's Kitchen. Used to be famous for one of the toughest neighborhoods; not much has changed except the date. Who would want to be a cop in those environments?
