The vehicles, which are illegal to ride in any of New York City's five boroughs, had previously been confiscated and impounded by the NYPD.

held at a Brooklyn auto pound on Tuesday, Adams spoke about a cooperative effort between the mayor's office and police department to rid city streets of illegal motorbikes. He then had a bulldozer ceremoniously plow through a lineup of dirt bikes and ATVs. The vehicles, which are illegal to ride in any of New York City's five boroughs, had previously been confiscated and impounded by the NYPD.

"Today, as we stand in the shadow of the Freedom Tower, we are freeing ourselves from these destructive pieces of machinery," said Adams during the press conference."They will be crushed today so that they can never terrorize our city again. Each and every one of them, they will be turned into scrap metal and eventually recycled."This year we've already taken nearly 2,000 bikes off the street and we're just getting started.
