A brazen bicyclist whipped out a pair of guns and shot up a Queens red-light camera, damaging it in a barrage of 16 bullets, police said Wednesday.
The bizarre incident comes less than two months after an e-bike rider was caught on video shooting up a speed trap camera 2 miles away.
In the new incident, the bicyclist fired 14 times with a 9-mm. gun and let off two rounds from a .380 at Woodhaven Blvd. and Atlantic Ave. in Woodhaven about 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, cops said. The shots knocked the camera out of service.
The shooter rode off south on Woodhaven Blvd.
About 3:15 a.m. Jan. 7, an e-bike rider fired more than a half-dozen bullets during a major snowstorm at a speed camera at 86th St. and 158th Ave. in Howard Beach, cops said.
The camera was hit at least eight times but kept recording.
On Jan. 13, cops released footage from the device showing the shooter rolling up and opening fire and asked the public’s help identifying the shooter and tracking him down. He has still not been caught.
Investigators have not yet determined if the two incidents are connected, a police source said.

I wonder if the guns were registed ?
Or just another low life thug left on our streets to cause mayhem.
Any bets he has multiple prior arrest ?
Crazy TA Zealot E-Nut with a gun ? Yikes...
I'm frankly amazed this hasn't happened sooner, and more frequently...
CAMERA LIVES MATTER!!
Bike Nuts are out of contol. “Cyclist's entitlement” is real and dangerous.
Sounds like a pretty good shooter. Eight hits with a 38, not bad. But, oh, I thought guns were illegal in NYC. You libs can make all the laws you want, but when you defund the NYPD, what do you expect? More social workers, please!
Obviously a car totalitarian on his day off. Where'd he get the bike, though?
Cenk Uygur rides a bike ?

Stop gaslighting bike Nazi.
Colonial apartheid speed camaraZ
Don't answer the Trolls !
Can't he be caught with Digital ID ?
His social credit should be taken away.
Really stupid whoever did this.
Major corruption with these cameras and some nutjob does this?
Makes no sense.
Bypassing due process, private public partnership in ripping off people, using taxpayer monies to fine the taxpayers. Zero effect on speeding/red light running. Pay the fine and off you go.
This crap needs to go all the way to SCOTUS.
oh it was at a speed camera? yeah i don't know anything, that really sucks though
A cyclist standing up for cars and for motorists impoverished by red-light cameras? It's a miracle. Not all heroes wear capes.
