Detroit street takeover of 200 people leaves car on fire, multiple arrests [View all]

DETROIT (FOX 2) - For the second time in two weeks, hundreds of rowdy people paralyzed a Detroit neighborhood, taking over an intersection, setting a car on fire, lighting fireworks, and harassing bus drivers.

Stephen Erter lives a couple of houses down from where it happened after 3 a.m. Sunday morning.

"They were shooting fireworks at cars, they were threatening to shoot people," he said. "Alcohol and guns don’t mix. A group of people were jumping on top of the white Challenger that was set on fire, and then a group of people started to jump on the bus, and then they started throwing fireworks at the bus, M80s at the bus."

Three people were arrested when Detroit police eventually assembled and responded.
