This is the horrifying moment a New York City driver struck six people, leaving one dead and the remaining five injured in a targeted attack.
A male suspect was taken into custody after he targeted the victims in Queens following a dispute over a parking spot when he barreled through them with his car around 4.45am Sunday, video footage from the scene shows.
The incident occurred outside a hookah bar on 129th St. and Liberty Ave in South Ozone Park.

The injured people were taken to Jamaica Hospital where one is in a critical condition, according to police.
Police also said that two stabbing victims who arrived at the hospital were connected with the dispute.
The male suspect is seen in a white Hyundai Sonata and racing down a sidewalk after jumping the curb and heading towards pedestrians outside the bar at the time.
Seconds later, a silver Nissan SUV appears to be chasing after the first car down the same sidewalk.

An eyewitness said that he drove by the fracas as it erupted and saw a woman trying to hold back one of the brawlers involved in the fight.
‘The girl is yelling ‘Stop, stop. No, no,’ when this car just comes from nowhere and hits the whole group,’ the eyewitness told The New York Daily News.
‘The bodies went flying. The car was going really fast, at least 50 mph on the sidewalk.’
‘At this point one individual, believed to be the occupant of the white Hyundai sedan is in custody. The vehicle has been recovered in another area of Queens,’ Assistant Police Chief David Barrere said.
‘Detectives are conducting crime scene examination, interviewing victims and witnesses, and searching for video evidence. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.’
‘At this time it appears that this incident originated from a parking dispute which escalated resulting in the death and several serious injuries,’ Barrere added.
