A sad part of inner city life is that some gangs (not saying that's what's happening in this BMW attack, no idea just putting out info per your question) intentionally have some of the most heinous acts carried out by their younger members, knowing they will receive a lesser punishment if caught and be able to rejoin the ranks sooner once released from prison. There are additional psychological factors such as people being less likely to immediately identify a youth as a threat, public outcry against the victim if they DO defend themselves, etc.
So...that can be rolling around in the back of someone's mind if there's a mob of kids beating on their car with bicycles. It's not a huge step from there to bricks or rocks being thrown, and if there are elderly in the vehicle a single blow from a thrown rock could kill them.
