Dirt bikes and ATVs that were not allowed to be used on the streets in New York City, US and were confiscated were gathered in the Brooklyn area. 92 dirt bikes were lined up and crushed by a bulldozer with the sign of New York Mayor Eric Adams. “They will be crushed today so that they can never terrorize our city again. Each and every one of them, they will be turned into scrap metal and eventually recycled,” Adams said in his statement before the vehicles turned into scrap heap. Adams emphasized that he is determined to clear the streets of vehicles that endanger the safety of the city.
“Our city will not tolerate this, and the NYPD will use every tool at our disposal to rid our neighborhoods of these hazards. It is the people living in these communities who are making the majority of complaints. They are telling us loud and clear to get these motorbikes out of our neighborhoods and keep them out. The NYPD got the message and that’s exactly what we’re doing today,” New York Police Department Commissioner Keechant Sewell said.
