Cops busted seven people during a wild car meet-up in The Bronx on Sunday – the latest crackdown in the NYPD’s ongoing war against a plague of street takeovers.
Officers responded to a report about drag-racing at the intersection of Pinkney and Hollers avenues in Eastchester around 2:30 a.m., cops said.
The cops flashed their vehicles’ lights and blared their sirens, dispersing most of the meetup without incident, cops said.
Officers then cuffed seven participants, and another three were given summonses, police said.
The raucous road race was just the latest in a series of recent street take-overs by maniac drivers in the city.
A 100-person event in April saw an intersection in the sleepy neighborhood of Middle Village in Queens turn into a hellish nightmare, with daredevils doing donuts around a ring of fire.
Another vehicle takeover in sleepy Malba, Queens, turned ugly when a mob of unruly drivers set a local’s car on fire and beat a couple outside their house.
Cops grabbed Justin Aguerila a little over a week after he allegedly beat the husband and wife in Malba in December.
Officers also nabbed Winston Pat and Asil Assadi just days after their alleged participation in the dangerous Middle Village meet-up.
