Manhattan, NY (October 24, 2021) – At 10 p.m. on Saturday night, October 23, a pedestrian accident occurred in Manhattan.

According to police, the accident happened at the intersection of Delancey Street and Suffolk Street. NYPD was conducting a checkpoint at the end of the Williamsburg Bridge when a motorcyclist did not stop. The motorcyclist struck a metal barricade, causing it to strike the officer.
