A witness told KTLA, “She was screaming at all my friends, ‘Move the car, Move the car.’ So I tossed the keys to another one of my friends who was getting in the car to move.” While the owner of the Mustang said, “It was honestly terrifying, I don’t think it’s fully hit me yet. It’s insane, it’s nothing you’d ever expect to happen to you. It’s like, oh, you hear about that on the news, oh, you hear about that on TV, and then you’re sitting there, and you’re watching this car get rammed over and over again. It’s just this blatant disregard for any sort of human life in the way of that.”

After witnesses called 911, they say Tyson reappeared before police could arrive. A witness told KTLA, “She ended up coming back on foot and assaulting two people, slapping one girl and then punching another in the back of the head.”
Tyson could face charges of felony vandalism and battery in the case. At the time of writing, Tyson is not in custody.
