NYC Mayor-elect Eric Adams came down hard on a group of partiers who danced and performed car stunts on the Kosciuszko Bridge, and vowed to go after similar offenders.
“Incidents like this damage our brand as a city, disrespect New Yorkers and endanger visitors and residents alike,” Adams said.
“All those who participated in this reckless behavior must be found and held responsible to the full extent of the law. We will not be a city of chaos.”
Footage posted to social media shows the partiers dancing on the bridge and cars performing “donuts” – spinning in tight circles – on the bridge, effectively shutting it down.
No suspect have been arrested over the incident, but the NYPD says it is “aware” of the videos.

Though their behavior may be improper, becareful who you call animals. Remember, they are G-d’s children, just like you.
so much more heinous, dangerous, scandalous, abominable, wicked, than anything that transpired on January 6th.
They are definitely not dangerous. Also they are not party animals. I agree that it is not fair to shut down a bridge. They are definitely wrong. We should try our best to help them enter the work force.
So, not a word out of DeBlasio?! DeBlasio immediately criticized the white supremacist judge and jury in the Rittenhouse case but he won’t do ANYTHING to stop the lawlessness in his own forsaken City! What a dog.
I guess as long as Blasio is still there the party must go on.
Hahaha! Fools!
Police too scared as to be called racist!
This is Biden’s America!
That’s pretty funny
A bunch of monkeys. Return them to their home continent.
The animals need to be returned to their cages
I can’t believe all these racist comments. Of course it’s wrong but why are they being called animals? that is even more wrong! A terrible racist and reckless irresponsible headline by YWN they should immediately change it! How about when we block off streets WITHOUT A PERMIT for kiddush levanah? are we animals? how about when we open the fire hydrants and flood the streets and block the streets on Rosh Hashanah ILLEGALLY WITHOUT PERMIT for tachlich? how about all the fires all over Boro Park erev pesach which leave filth on the streets? Oh! that’s for religious reason so that’s okay. Here it was for a party for fun so they are “Party Animals” …… Just pathetic!!!
Christie aid went to jail for shutting down a bridge. This is the problem with funny stuff. It is a complete disregard for another person.
This is nothing compared to the nonsense that has been happening in England where crazy environmental protestors have been blocking major routes, costing millions of pounds in lost work and police time, while they are politely removed after they have glued themselves to the roads. The human misery caused has been immeasurable as you can see at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-58787144
@bigchoosid: You don’t need a permit to have a crowd spill a bit into the street for 9 minutes for Kiddush Levana. Fires in Boro Park are generally organized in cooperation with the FDNY. Take it easy and remember to wear 2 masks on your next midnight stroll so it shouldn’t be a Chillul Hashem. Assuming you got all 3 vaccines and waiting for the 4th…
Saul B. “generally” organized in cooperation with the FDNY, but many cases where they are not, we also sometimes disrupt the neighborhood. the point is that blocking motorists does not mean you are an animal. It is just racism and bigotry and no doubt they would always call them animals regardless of what they do.
Now what masks and vaccine has to do with this beats me. You sound like the new age Trump Rebublicans they just lump together the alt-right Q-anon -anti vaccine, anti- mask,- anti climate change, anti- fauci + some flat earthers. Well I guess to each his own.
