NYPD squad car strikes, kills man on motorcycle


Bronx - A squad car ran down a man on motorcycle Saturday afternoon in The Bronx, killing him, cops and witnesses said.

The crash occurred at 12:26 p.m. on Randall and Coster streets. The unidentified biker and a pal had just ordered food at Reyes Produce, on Randall Avenue and Faile Street in Hunts Point, when the squad car approached them, witnesses said.

“Move! Move! Police is comin’!” one man yelled just before jumping onto his buddy’s dirt bike, according to witnesses.

The two took off as the squad car continued toward them. Less than a block away, the passenger jumped off the bike — right before the police car slammed into it.

The impact killed the remaining biker, cops and witnesses said.

It was unclear why the men were being chased or whether any charges would be filed against the survivor, who was transported to Lincoln Hospital for treatment of his injuries.
