Grisly! A totally crazy video of a Midtown fight is on Live Leak. The person who posted it wrote:
I was sleeping in my hotel room when people screaming in the street woke me up. It was around 5:30 AM, two groups of drunk peoples were fighting in the street. The guy with the white escalade run over a guy on the ground and run away ! I gave the video to the police. However the guy that have been run over has his hips dislocated and his knees broken.The video is pretty nuts. We've put in a call to the NYPD to see if an investigation was opened.
Date : Sunday Feb. 3rd / Location : Lexington and E 48th, Manhattan
Update: The NYPD's public information office called us back. The 17th Precinct has seen the video and is investigating the matter. No more information could be released, lest it jeopardize the case.

Men are so dumb.
Holy crap!
stop issuing EZ Passes to meatheads
Ouch. That is crazy. Late night brawls are often lame but this one was nuts.
Im sorry for the girl (is a girl right?) with the leg broken..
what accent is that?
Wow. my heart was pounding watching this. One of the craziest videos I have seen in awhile, but yet a typical night in NYC with drunk people from New Jersey.
LOL, lets all blame Jersey.
These guys could have been from Brooklyn too yano.
i would assume the parking garage the cars were coming out of would have cameras w/ all the license plate #s needed to make full arrests.
NJ is Brooklyn. six and one half the other.
or SI.
wherever they are from it is clear this what happens when the proletariats either have too much time on thier hands (out at 5:30AM) or too much money with none of the decorum(as evidenced by the Escalade).
Reinstate the 7 day work week and many crimes like this will drastically decrease.
Nothing like people showing their big cars off.
I'm guessing it's the latter, JG
I bet some of them still live at home and they think that's something of an advantage or to be proud of.
by at home, meaning in the same home where they grew up in and with their parents.
see some areas of Brooklyn.
This fight was about
a - Who is going to win the Super Bowl
b - Who is going to get to use that extra ticket to the Michael Kors show
c - Who needs to shakedown Marc Jacobs this week
d - How much it costs to park an Escalade in a garage

how disgusting and disturbing, you could hear the guy's bones crack.
which is worse, getting shot in the middle of a fight or getting run over?
@JacqueMehoff
Your English is as bad as your Geography.
The correct expression is "six of one, a half dozen of the other." You see, because a half dozen = 6. So they're the same. Get it? Clever huh?
Sadly "six and one half the other" is complete nonsense.

that is so horrible. I can't believe this isn't all over the news
wow, u so smart. miso dum.
thank you. how u spel qweedo?
These people are idiots. Nothing worse than drunk meatheads...
gothamist isn't news? It is to me...
Natural selection!
I can't handle much violence anymore. While I want to watch this video, I am terrified of doing so. On a scale 2 girls 1 cup, what are we looking at here?
(P.S. haven't seen that one either.)
general rule of thumb: Escalade=idiot behind the wheel
I would think that the NYPD would get this tape on the air ASAP to try and get leads.
This is sick. I feel sorry for that person. horrible
congrats gothamist, this made the lead on CW11
they warned it will be graphic.
It was also the lead on Fox 5! A manager (I think) at a nearby hotel said there were tons of people fighting that night - and she said all of this while smiling and almost laughing at the memory!
Another lesson not learned about drinking.
The one seven precinct will make an arrest soon
of this homicidal driver.
Thanks be for video as evidence in capturing
these perps, I hope quite soon.
i hate thugs and these guys should be caught and have their legs broken as a punishment.
Video proof of why this country sucks. *sigh*
This country sucks? Drunken fights happen anywhere man. This one just happened to be filmed, and happened to be in nyc.
It's two weeks later and still no arrests?
