The driver fled the scene, but was corralled a few blocks away by Flatbush Shomrim volunteers.
Numerous emergency personnel were at the scene, though, thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Though Israel has not issued any formal comments regarding an alleged ceasefire with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, authorities have begun to relax security restrictions and urge Israelis to start returning to normal.
No rockets have been fired since 4:30 a.m., and the Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command has lifted all restrictions for Gaza border residents.
Hamas confirmed that “intensive diplomatic efforts” were brokered by the United Nations, Qatar and Egypt, and reported an agreement on Al-Aqsa TV.
Economy and Industry Minister Eli Cohen announced that workers and business owners in areas affected by the bombing are eligible for financial assistance, including compensation.

“In the last two days, we resumed the policy of eliminating senior terrorists. We killed dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, and knocked down terrorist buildings,” Netanayhu said while visiting the Israel Defense Forces Southern Command, pushing back against criticism that he has not done enough to end rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday he plans to investigate whether the city can offer drivers some relief by cutting down on alternate-side parking regulations.
In most city neighborhoods, cars must be cleared from one side of a street once or twice a week — meaning residents might have to move their cars up to four times a week on a specific block to avoid being ticketed.

“I do think New Yorkers, if you don’t need to own a car in New York City, you shouldn’t own a car in NYC.

The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, which has been the site of a rash of antisemitic assaults on Orthodox Jewish men in recent months.

Israel passed information on an alleged Iranian plot to attack U.S. interests in the Gulf to the U.S. before national security adviser John Bolton threatened Iran with “unrelenting force” last night, senior Israeli officials reported.
Information about possible Iranian plots against the U.S. or its allies in the Gulf were raised two weeks ago in talks held at the White House between an Israeli delegation headed by national security adviser Meir Ben Shabbat and a U.S. team led by Bolton, the Israeli officials told me.
