Maria Menounos Attacked In New York: We Have The Details On The Former 'Extra' Host's Scary Ordeal! Where is Mario Lopez When You Need Him?

Maria Menounos is known for interviewing the likes of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Sandra Bullock on the red carpet, but the last thing she expected was to get attacked in New York!

Maria was leaving JFK Airport with her team in a car when a tire iron flew through the back of her car window.

"We were merging onto the expressway and all of a sudden we heard an explosion. I thought we were being shot at so I told everyone, 'We're being shot at! Put your heads down!' And everyone put their heads down," she told Us Weekly. "We waited a second and we didn't hear another shot, so I lifted my head up and turned around, and the whole back window was shattered and gone, not even a stitch of glass was left."

The former Extra host wasn't next to the window when it happened, but her makeup artist was. There was a cop there, but he didn't see what happened.

"He told us, 'You have to move,'" she continued. "And we see this huge tire iron in the back, so either someone ran back and smashed the back of the window and ran and nobody saw [them], or someone was in close proximity and threw it through the back window. Either way, my makeup artist was in the back seat covered in glass."

Maria documented the aftermath of the attack on her Instagram.
