NYPD cops sent a guy flying off his motorbike when they threw a barricade in his path at the last second on a Bronx exit ramp, new video shows.
The wild encounter occurred around 5:15 p.m. on Sunday when cops were called to Bronx River Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard for reports of motorcycles carelessly zipping through Soundview, according to the NYPD.
A short clip posted to Instagram shows three cops rushing to stretch a barricade across the Bronx River Avenue exit ramp moments before the motorcyclist bails from his green bike — gets up and runs.
The 27-year-old Benjamin Gonzalez only made it a few feet before bumping into a fellow biker and walks back to surrender to cops.
“Yo, bro, you good! What they’re doing right here is illegal, bro!” the man filming the incident yells out.
A spokeswoman for the NYPD said, “officers moved the barrier across the roadway to narrow the flow of traffic, allowing them to engage cyclists who were operating their bikes in an unsafe manner. In this instance, one of the riders continued at a high rate of speed, attempting to breach the opening in the barrier.”
Gonzalez was taken to a nearby hospital for an evaluation but was uninjured in the fall, cops said.
The biker faces charges of reckless endangerment, reckless driving and aggravated unlicensed operator, according to the NYPD.
