When he came out, one man shouted, “Don’t feed that fucking prick for weeks,” while others shouted, “Kill him!”
As he was wheeled to the door, the crowd pushed against the glass door, began banging on the glass and shouting.
The chaos escalated further when Irish was brought outside as police struggled to hold back the crowd, who chanted, “Get out!”
However, the police were soon overwhelmed when the crowd chased him and began beating him.
A woman’s wail was heard as Irish tried to prove his innocence.
“You killed my daughter!” Williams’ mother Nicole screamed as he was loaded onto the bus and the crowd continued to beat on the sides of the vehicle.
“He looks like trash,” Nicole added, sobbing and gasping for breath.
“They said she was dead. I passed out and the officer had to pick me up off the ground,” she told the New York Post.

Rian Robbins, the passerby who made the unfortunate discovery, said she was suspicious of the package because there were flies circling around it.
“I walked past it and turned around and there were flies all over the place. And I saw what looked like a rib cage,” Rian Robbins said AMNY.
They were cleaning out the building, so I thought, maybe it’s something old that they threw away.’
Robbins said the body was on what looked like a cart. “It was on a rolling cart that was tied to the thing,” Robbins said.
“It was large and bloated, as if it had been in the water.”

Shocked bystanders in the lobby of a nearby building also filmed disturbing footage of detectives cutting open the body bag in the street.
Ted Oehmke, who also saw police cut open the bag, told DailyMail.com about the gruesome details he saw.
“There was a hole in the top of the bag and what looked like the top of a head was in it,” he said. “I’d like to say I was shocked, but I’m not. It’s a sign of the times, that’s all.”
“It looked like whoever did it had gone to great lengths to keep it wrapped up and in plain sight,” Oehmke added.
‘But I was still surprised when I saw it lying there in the garbage can, as if the cleaning service was just going to clean it up.’
Officials said the body had been lying on the street for some time, as other residents had reported a stench in the area before Robbins.
NYPD officers cordoned off the area as forensic teams processed the crime scene.
