What this super strong lady did in this prank video shocked many passersby!

It takes a lot to stop New Yorkers in their tracks — but the sight of a traffic cop lifting a yellow taxi, with the driver still inside, certainly did.

Actress Jenni Ruiza played the 5-foot-3-inch meter maid in the jaw-dropping online video shot in multiple locations in New York City.  As cameras recorded surreptitiously, Ruiza would walk up to the doctored cab and tell the driver, played by stuntman Bob Cotter, that he had to move.

When he loudly tells her to get lost, bystanders sense a fight brewing and start paying attention.  But they aren’t ready for what Ruiza does next — she grabs the front end of the car and lifts it up over her head with a powerful grunt.

“I think you better move,” a bystander says to Cotter.

"That's girl power" remarked one very amused elderly woman.

The Bronx resident told the Daily News she and Cotter were both New Yorkers and they improvised their dialogue as they performed the stunt nearly a hundred times in different parts of Manhattan over four days last month.

"The person you see in the video is totally me," Ruiza said. "(The role) was a dream come true. We're both New Yorkers, we don't take any s--t, and we get in your face."

The video was created by Thinkmodo for a new company that helps people sell their cars, “Car Lister.”  You may remember Thinkmodo from the terrifying “Devil Baby Attack,” which is undoubtedly still haunting the dreams of some New Yorkers.

The “taxi” was actually a 2005 Ford Escape painted yellow with fake taxi emblems.  The engine was removed from the front and steel plates were placed in the trunk as a counter-weight.  Ruiza said lifting the car ended up feeling like she was hoisting her 30 pound dog.
