A thief stole a Bentley and wrecked it after a pleasure ride in Manhattan

Police said the man stole a Bentley into the East Village on Thursday and then drove the luxury car into a curb across town.

The thief grabbed the car from the parking lot at Avenue C and East 14th Street around 4:40 pm.

The driver fled to the other side of Manhattan, where they crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of Perry Street and Washington Avenue in the West Village.

The collision cost the white sedan its front right wheel as well as paint along the right side of the car, but the driver attempted to keep moving.

A few blocks later, the driver lost control and crashed into a curb.

The police arrested the man at the scene.
