Illegal food vendor caught pooping near Brooklyn Bridge
Incident one of many calling attention to abuses of overpass' walkway
DUMBO — Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO residents are disgusted and infuriated as a video has come to light exposing a long-time food vendor defecating between cars at the stairway entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge on Cadman Plaza East.
The video shows the vendor wiping his behind with napkins just feet away from his food stand and the narrow bridge staircase, as vehicles zoom by.
“This man is taking a crap right here on the street,” the person who took the video narrates. “As you can see, he’s wiping his butt. This is gross. It stinks. And he just doesn’t care.”
