There's not a whole lot of information about what happened here. All I know when I checked Smashenger this morning, this is what I found with a quote from the victim saying "dude today was a not so bad day". It seems as though he got pinched by the cops and tackled. Sucks! I wonder what he did?
Edit: It seems as though a friend knows the guy who got pinched. Allegedly, he ran a red and tried to escape up the bridge, only to get caught by them. Damn.
Comments
He got pinched and tapped the hood of a car and the cops gave chase from Suffolk. He got a few tickets after they gave him the Bolgone Sandwich.

okay, I been biking in this city for over 5+ years and never have I once been stopped by cops. I have no reflectors, no brakes, no helmet, ran reds, etc... Been also driving in this city for 10+ years so I don't bike wrecklessly... Maybe I'm just lucky, but I have never once been stopped day or night time. We're on bikes, didn't know we could even get pulled over by cops.. that just sounds corny...

yo, this is getting ridiculous, i already had 3 of my friends getting summons this week. this is making life for us REALLY difficult since the principles of a "delivery guy" "messenger" is to get packages on time and faster than a car and the reason is because we get to skip the rules of redlights and when theres alot of traffic make a jump on the sidewalk for a bit. but this bullshit. fuck this, jumping back to be a fruitbooter.

come on now, everyone gets pulled over, on a bike or in a car, and sometimes you get ticketed. sucks, but it happens, and you know you slipped up. i don't live in ny, but i've been pulled over for running a red on a bike,its pretty common, so its not just your city. stupid, but what are you going to do? riding your bike into a high speed pursuit sounds like a not entirely well considered idea. if that's what this guy actually did.

smart crew, thats pretty LUCKY of you to be riding in nyc for 5 years and never get a summons.
yes, u can easily get pulled over by cops by riding on the side walk, wrong way, running red lights/stop signs.
i've been stopped twice, 2 summons.
spitting on a cop car is also illegal.
