The 36-year-old driver -- who wasn't identified -- told police he had stopped at an intersection in the area to allow a large group of bicyclists to pass.
In a 14-second clip, multiple people in the group are shown jumping on the hood of the car. The teens also appeared to take turns damaging the vehicle. One teen was seen using his bike to smash the hood of the vehicle while another was seen jumping on the windshield, causing it to partially shatter and cave in.
