“Verbal Assault” on Cortelyou on Video

Peter Monica wrote in about an incident he witnessed on Cortelyou Road on Monday night. Please be warned, the video above contains some graphic language. At least one young man can be heard speaking about guns and threatening the store employees’ lives. The employees threaten to call the police.

From Peter:

Verbal assault outside 99 cent store. Big crowd and no police in sight. Luckily it didn’t escalate. I was coming off of the subway tonight and came upon this scene. Almost immediately, I began filming. The video starts at 8:14 PM. This was outside of S&S 99 cent store at 1318 Cortelyou Road. I left right after I stopped filming.

It’s impossible to to discern what started the altercation with just this video. Did anyone else see this occur? What happened once Peter walked away?
