Ford - Repeat offender, aggresive and dangerous
Avenue A and 9th St, New york, NY
This vehicle was parked illegally in a lane designated for bicycles on 9th Street near Avenue A in Manhattan.
When the driver was very politely informed that he was blocking the bike lane, he explained that he did not care and there was no talking to him. As I left, I explained that I would alert the police as he suggested. I snapped a picture of his rear license plate.
He began to threaten me from his vehicle, and I noticed that his white lights (indication that the vehicle has been put in reverse) go on, and the vehicle began to move towards me a few inches.
He yelled "Be careful, I might accidentally back up and hit you!".
I responded that I had his plate and this would be a very unwise idea. I felt threatened enough to sprint down a block and found an auxiliary squad car (Vehicle # AP8 (?)). I informed the officers of what had happened and they told me that they would do a sweep of the block, and asked for a description of the vehicle.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! This driver is a REPEAT OFFENDER. I have witnessed his vehicle parked in the same bike lane numerous times. And after this, I know he is dangerous in more than one way.
