Video of the August 2019 incident shows a woman knocking a plate of food out of another person's hand. She then gets into a Mercedes and starts violently backing into a parked car, over and over, near the corner of Western and Lexington avenues.

Separate video shows the driver of the Mercedes having some type of argument with a group of people as they crowd around her.
