As he emerged, a man shouted: 'Don't feed that f**king pr**k for weeks' while others yelled, 'Kill him!'.
As he was wheeled towards the door, the crowd pushed up against the glass door and began pounding the glass and screaming.
The chaos only escalated further when Irish was brought outside, with cops struggling to hold back the surging crowd who yelled 'Come outside!'.
Police were soon overwhelmed however as the mob chased after him and began raining blows down on him.
A woman could be heard wailing as Irish tried to proclaim his innocence.
'You killed my daughter!' Williams' mom Nicole yelled as he was loaded into the van and the crowd continued to bang the sides of the vehicle.
'He looks likes scum,' Nicole added while sobbing and struggling to catch her breath.
'They said she's dead. I fainted and the officer had to pick me up off the floor,' she told the New York Post.

Rian Robbins, the passer-by who was unlucky enough to make the chilling discovery, said she was suspicious of the package because flies were circling it.
'I walked by and turned around, there were flies swarming all over it. And I saw what that looked like a ribcage,' Rian Robbins told AMNY.
They were cleaning out the building, so I was like maybe it's some old thing they threw out.'
Robbins said the body was left lying on what appeared to be a cart. 'It was on a rolling cart that was tied to the thing,' Robbins said.
'It was big and bloated like it had been in water.'

Horrified onlookers inside the lobby of a nearby building also filmed disturbing video of detectives cutting into the body bag on the street.
Ted Oehmke, who also witnessed cops slicing open the bag, gave gruesome details of what he saw to DailyMail.com.
'There was a hole cut in the top of the bag and what looked like the top of a head,' 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 went to a lot of trouble to make sure it was wrapped up and stuck out in the open,' Oehmke added.
'But I was pretty surprised to see it sitting there in the regular garbage as if sanitation was going to take it away.'
Officials said they believe the corpse had been on the street for some time because other residents had reported a stench in the area before Robbins.
NYPD officers cordoned off the area as forensic teams combed the scene.
