BRONX - The Pelham Parkway community is reacting to a video posted to several social media accounts that shows a standoff between two groups of young men—before punches started to fly.


The video posted to the social media accounts of City Boy Times and Friends of Pelham Parkway on September 6, shows several young men on scooters surrounding an SUV along Lydig Avenue at Cruger Avenue.


One man climbs atop the SUV, when the men inside the vehicle get out when the brawl begins.


The NYPD was asked about the incident, but they had not responded before the publication of this article.


“Phylis” a 14-year resident of the area was asked if crime and violence in the area was on the rise or decline, she replied, “It’s the same, it’s just that when it gets warm it’s more active. It’s like the summer and spring is when it really gets crazy.”


One resident who recently moved from the area after 20-years in the community, added, “Crime is going up, it’s neither here nor there, the world has gotten worse.”
