Police attacked in Maryland as they try to shutdown street takeover

Video shows a group of masked suspects vandalizing a police cruiser whilst an officer sat inside during a street takeover in Maryland.

Dashcam footage shared by Montgomery County Police Department on Monday (23 February) shows officers driving towards the Silver Spring central business district, where the takeover activity was taking place.

The suspects can be seen attempting to block the cruiser from moving, while drivers perform “donuts” in the roadway.

During the incident, two marked Montgomery County Police cruisers were damaged. In one case, an officer was inside his vehicle when the rear window was broken and the windshield was smashed. No officers were injured.

The force is asking individuals with information on the identities of the suspects to come forward.
