The biker mounted a car stuck in Midtown traffic and celebrated after smashing its windshields and hitting its driver with a bike lock.

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — The NYPD are trying to identify a man who attacked a driver stuck in Midtown traffic, police said.
The attacker used his bicycle to smash through the windshield and rear window of a car on East 40th Street and Fifth Avenue on the afternoon of Jan. 18, police said. The berserk bicyclist then hit the driver over the head with a bike lock when he exited the car to avoid broken glass, police said.
After striking the driver, the cyclist turned his attention back to the car and mounted the vehicle. While standing on the roof of the white sedan, the attacker let out a series of celebratory screams and stomped on the top of the vehicle for good measure, police said.
