Disrespectful Hoon mischievous, criminal or a victim of circumstances? You decide after we tell you the story of Emin Faki, 20, who was shot earlier this week down the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in a... the 1980s (aesthetic pre-surgery) BMW series 3 E30 Convertible.
The Museum is not only famous for its vast collection of works of art, but also for the 72 steps before the entrance, which are collectively known as the "Rocky steps" after Sylvester Stallone climbed them in the triple-Oscar winning film Rocky and its sequels.
Local photographer HughE Dillon, who runs the web site PhillyChitChat and lived nearby, captured the scene on video. He said the following about the incident:
"I was driving the Parkway BF House. Since live opposite the steps I know it seems normal, two lights didn't fit in that Bill. It took me at traffic lights w/cars in front of me, video starts as it is closer to the bottom."
Philadelphia police learned about the incident and according to a report from Philadelphia, they questioned Faki 20 years on Friday. The Prosecutor's Office said that it has already approved a felony charge of criminal mischief against the driver as the car caused around $8,000 in damage to the steps. However, police said that they will be not to bring charges only however as they want to determine if the car had mechanical problems at the time that causes the driver to go down the stairs.
Dillon said the News newspaper that does not believe the car was parked at the top and began to go down by itself with the driver jumping to save it in the speculation.
"At the beginning I couldn't ' believe it,", said Dillon. "I was a little nervous. I thought I was going to shoot. It was so deliberate at each step. And then he fell back. It is difficult to do. When he arrived in half, he made a victory lap. There is a large apron, probably 30 feet wide and drove up and back, up and back, four times. Then he had to make a turn K at the ends. When he reached the bottom, he made another lap of victory, then departed, "added.

Update:We have just discovered a second video from one of the people on the steps called Stefan Santacroce, in which we hear (but not see) the car rolled down on its own and that the driver jumped in to save it
