Yesterday around 3:30, on 2nd Ave between 2nd & 3rd, a police car & unmarked both went the wrong way up 2nd ... A police officer made a long horizontal dive to knock a young man off his bike. He got up & tried again to ride but a detective knocked him down. [The cyclist] was quickly handcuffed ... a total of EIGHT police cars pulled up, lights flashing. They pushed him into one car, & I believe took the bike in another car. Any idea what that was all about? Anyone else see this?
