WABC Pedro Rivera-Scooter Crime in Bronx

Pedro Rivera reports on two incidents involving scooter getaways in the Bronx. First in Mt. Eden-not the Garden of Eden- three men on a scooter shot and wounded a group of people and sped away. Next the NYPD stepped up pressure on illegal scooters and spooked a rider who sped away and crashed into a light post. Rider suffered fatal injuries. Had illegal license plates. May have been involved in the previous shooting.NYPD has confiscated 9500 scooters since Jan 1 24. Bronx substantial percentage.***It would have been preferable to establish and apply policies that would have curtailed the flagrant lawlessness that is rampant on the streets and sidewalks**25 years ago. The energy of the NYPD could have been coordinated with DOT and FDNY. A cooperative task force to promote public safety. Why wasn't this done?? Ask Transportation Alternatives. Ask former DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik Khan. Ask the Sophist in Chief Charles Komanoff. Ask visionary Mark Gorton.****************https://abc7ny.com/videoClip/14682296/
