The confrontation appeared to be the culmination of a pursuit that may have continued for several blocks.
EVG reader Ali Royals, who witnessed the incident, said the man in shorts caught up with the man in jeans and intentionally crashed his Citi Bike into the other man's Citi Bike.
According to Royals, the man in jeans — whom she described as "the vigilante" — then accused the other man of pushing kids in Tompkins Square Park before throwing several punches.
The man in shorts lost both of his shoes during the altercation. (They were still in the intersection several hours later.)
It was not immediately known whether either man required medical attention.A Citi Bike pursuit ended in a noonday fistfight Wednesday in the middle of Avenue A at 13th Street, where one man accused the other — who got the worst of the ensuing fight — of pushing kids in Tompkins Square Park.

Road Rage on bikes?
This is hilarious🤣🤣🤣. Thank you I needed this 🙏🏻
Which one was declared winner? Any chance any of the participants actually paid for his citibike?
They deserve each other.
Those were jorts. Not shorts.
So shorts guy chased after jeans guy to become a punching bag? Seems like the script got flipped somewhere. I suppose we'll never know.
Just another colorful day in the east village...
And, meanwhile, over on 2nd Avenue, a guy who'd assembled a huge collection of stuff clogging the sidewalk on almost half of the East side of the block - for at least a week or so - finally got himself arrested when he started menacing pedestrians and passing cars with a large metal pole.
Time for the famous Godzilla meme -"Let Them Fight."
"And, meanwhile, over on 2nd Avenue" . What street was this on? Thanks.
Slim to none
2nd ave. and St.Mark's right in front of the Theater. Wonder why he snapped.
two guys going at it with fists only, seems old fashioned and borderline honorable in 2026
The mayhem was on 2nd Avenue between 7th & St Marks
Big shouts Byline @ali
