Terrence Brooks charged with carjacking a vehicle that he crashed moments later in Manhattan and is caught on video lying in front of a bus and standing on top of an SUV.

A man was caught on camera crashing a stolen vehicle into a taxi and parked car in New York City prior to lying in the street in front of a bus and standing atop an SUV.

The incident unfolded at 11 a.m. on Nov. 26 at the southwest corner of Broadway and West 55th Street in midtown Manhattan, according to the New York Police Department.

A victim reported that he was parked at the intersection when the suspect, identified by police as 37-year-old Terrence Brooks, made him fear for his safety before he got out of the vehicle.

Brooks then allegedly got in the vehicle and fled westbound on 55th Street prior to colliding with a taxi and a parked vehicle.
