NextImg:Wild video captures NYC driver getting out of car to shove anti-Israel protesters: ‘You’re disrupting traffic, idiots!’

Wild video shows the moment an exasperated driver fed up with Monday’s anti-Israel protest in Manhattan jumps out of his car to physically confront the demonstrators blocking his path.

The clip, shared by Writers Against the War on Gaza on Instagram, captures the motorist trying to turn left from the Bowery onto the Manhattan Bridge as rabble-rousers urge him to “run them over!”

“You’re disrupting traffic, idiots! You can’t do that, that’s against the law!,” the agitated driver shouts at the protesters before getting out from behind the wheel of his maroon Honda SUV.

“I’m about to start throwing fists. … I’m not going to run them over,” the man says as he shoves several of the protesters blocking his vehicle’s path.

“Get away from my car, I have a daughter in Brooklyn!” the man, clad in a Brooklyn Nets sweatshirt, screams as he points across the East River.

“Get out of the way! I have to get home!”

The driver warned the protestors that he was about to “start throwing fists” if they wouldn’t let him get home to his daughter. wawog_now/Instagram

He continues yelling as he gets back behind the wheel of his car and cautiously drives through the parting group toward Brooklyn.

The incident came as hundreds of demonstrators blocked traffic on the Manhattan, Williamsburg and Brooklyn bridges and Holland Tunnel to demand a cease-fire in Israel’s 3-month-old war on Hamas in Gaza.
