Dramatic scenes unfolded in Tottenham, North London, as rowdy youths in high-performance sports cars brought the streets to a standstill, blaring engines and setting off fireworks in the dead of night.
Residents were left furious as the group of reckless drivers blocked roads and revved their engines past midnight, with some launching fireworks dangerously close to buildings. The antisocial behaviour has reignited concerns about urban noise pollution and public safety.
Eyewitnesses Describe Terrifying Scenes
Local shopkeepers reported being unable to sleep as the deafening roar of supercar engines echoed through the neighbourhood. "It sounded like a racetrack outside my window," one resident told reporters. "They clearly had no regard for people trying to sleep."
Police Response Under Scrutiny
Authorities have faced criticism for their slow response to the disturbance, with calls for tougher action against illegal street meets. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed they were "aware of the incident" and reviewing CCTV footage.
The brazen display comes amid growing concerns about antisocial behaviour in the capital, with similar incidents reported across London in recent months.
