Mr Torgovnick said: “At that point, I was afraid that they were going to break the window, get in the car, reach in, and pull us out."
His mum was dialling 911 to call police as she screamed, “‘We’re going to die, they’re going to kill us,’” Mr Torgovnick said.
Speaking after the incident on Tuesday, he added: "It’s something that I never expected to happen in New York City.
