OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
NYPD hunted a man described only as being in his 20s on a scooter who fit the description of someone sought in a robbery elsewhere. Police escalated a hunt against the scooter just before noon in the location depicted above, sourced from Google View. The chase ended when he collided at the above intersection with a box truck and died.
The hunt after this scooter was part of a wider NYC approach to crack down on scooters because Mayor Adams feels that too many crimes are being committed by people who escape on scooters. There have been a number of aggressive incidents including at least 2 deaths in NY with attacks by police on scooter drivers in 2023 so far due to these new policies, this being the third known to us.
