A 6-Year-Old Was Hurt by a Hit-and-Run Scooter Driver in a Manhattan Park – Prayers Needed
Henry Diaz-Marim was seriously hurt with skull fractures on Sunday at Thomas Jefferson Park on East 111th Street and 1st Avenue in East Harlem (near the FDR Drive) around 6:30 pm. (Story)
Henry Diaz-Marim is at the hospital in critical condition.
A man on a gas powered scooter hit Henry and took off. Electric scooters are allowed in the park – not gas. (See here) These vehicles need plates so riders stop and are accountable.
Police are searching for this man:
These motorized bikes should not be allowed in parks. The ban was lifted by the mayor in March. (See here)
Pedestrian safety and a pedestrian’s right of way, especially a child’s has to come before all of these motorized scooters.
Hugs,
