EAST HARLEM, Manhattan (PIX11) — A 6-year-old boy suffered severe head injuries
after he was struck by a motorized bike inside an East Harlem park Sunday,
police said.

The incident happened inside Thomas Jefferson Park near East 111th Street and
First Avenue around 6:30 p.m., according to the NYPD.



The driver of the motorized bike allegedly hit the child in a pedestrian walkway
in the park, police said. The 6-year-old was thrown to the ground and suffered
severe head trauma, including a brain bleed and multiple skull fractures,
authorities said. The child was hospitalized in critical condition.

The driver of the motorized bike initially remained at the scene of the crash
but fled before police arrived, authorities said.

“It was very chaotic. A lot of people were around. A lot of people were in
distress. It was very unfortunate that that happened,” said witness Emmanuel
Strohman. “That was heartbreaking. You don’t want to hear that, especially on
Father’s Day, that a child was hurt.”



The motorized bike was last seen fleeing northbound in the park toward East
114th Street and Pleasant Avenue. Police are still searching for the driver.
