PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: A young mother didn't have it when a motorcyclist attacked her car and brandished his gun on her.

The incident took place during an illegal street takeover in Philadelphia when an armed dirt bike rider jumped on Nikki Bullock’s car and smashed its rear window with both feet.

The 23-year-old gutsily stepped out of her vehicle and confronted her attacker. The incident was captured on a cellphone from atop a double-decker sightseeing bus.

The clip also shows dozens of young men passing through the downtown area on motorbikes and quads.

Was anyone hurt during the incident?

Fortunately, no one was hurt as the confrontation heated between the two. The biker, who was donning a ‘You Ain’t No Killa’ tee and the woman shoved each other where, at one point, the biker head-butted her with his helmet on.

What did Nikki Bullock say about the incident?

He even took out his gun and tried to scare off the woman but Bullock was unfazed by it. Nikki shoved him and the biker almost tripped over his bike at one point.

"So I jumped out and I was going at him and I ended up pushing his bike over and everybody started surrounding me," Nikki recalled.

During this episode, her two children were sitting in the backseat. "The kids were screaming. Like it was insane," said Bullock, who is a resident of Prospect Park.

The incident was captured by George Coloney while visiting Florida. "Got stuck in some traffic and I just started filming all of the bikers that are going through and then they get in an argument with a car," Coloney said.

Bullock’s girlfriend's two children were in the backseat of the car. "I'm like oh my gosh, is someone about to get killed right now," Coloney said.

Bullock said, “The only thing that protected my kids from not having a bunch of glass shattering on top of them is that my back windshield was tinted.”

"That person, whoever that person is, if that person is caught. And I get the chance to charge that person, we will be going after that person very, very vigorously after that person for that conduct," District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a press conference.

"Ultimately, I'm happy that people can support her because I can't even imagine that happening to somebody like that," he said.

"Justice will come to light and it's only a matter of time," Nikki said, adding "Everything is covered and I appreciate it more than anything."
