Hundreds of cars were involved in a string of illegal car meet-ups across Philadelphia this weekend, several of which turned violent.

Videos from across the city revealed the chaos that unfolded, including cars doing burnouts, fireworks, and even rings of fire in the streets.

Images recorded by Lisa Jourdan, who lives off 25th and Washington streets, showed what happened after she came downstairs in an effort to get people off the parked cars they were standing on.

"I ended up at some point coming down and I was assaulted myself, and then was threatened with a gun. There was a shell casing the cops found. So, yeah, I had these barrels thrown at me," Jourdan recalled.
