DeMeo and others then were captured on surveillance video moving the car off the teen, according to NBC4. 

“We were a little nervous, afraid if we lifted and God forbid it falls on him, or if it was attached to a part of his body,” he said. “As a team, we lifted up the car, and I see the boy and he was bleeding from his head.” 

The teen reportedly was rushed to a local hospital while the driver, police say, remained at the scene. 

The crash happened along Avenue X in Brooklyn, according to the report.
