Bay Ridge halal cart brawl caught on camera raises concerns
A brutal brawl caught on camera has some Bay Ridge residents questioning the safety of one busy street corner.
A halal cart owner and operator was hospitalized in the early hours of Monday, October 16 after a fight broke out at around 11:35 p.m. Sunday night in front of his food truck, located at the corner of 86th Street and Fifth Avenue, outside of Chase Bank.
While some initial reports claimed that the fight had begun elsewhere, and that the vendor had stepped in to break up the fight, a local police source told this paper that the actions of the cart operator may have been a catalyst in the confrontation.
