On Saturday, October 23rd, according to the NYPD, a motorcyclist was arrested for allegedly crashing his bike into a metal barricade as he exited the Williamsburg bridge. The NYPD claimed a sergeant was hurt with a minor cut on her leg. The NYPD stated the motorcyclist was “possibly driving under the influence”.

In a show of force, the NYPD responded by setting up a checkpoint the following day in order to stop every motorcycle and moped that crossed the bridge. All were detained without probable cause and numerous riders had their motorcycles confiscated.
