A driver who allegedly helped wreak havoc during a "reckless" drag-racing street takeover was paraded out of his apartment in handcuffs.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced the arrest of 22-year-old Asil Assaidi Thursday. Assaidi was charged with reckless endangerment and rioting after a series of "dangerous, fiery driving stunts" near two New York City gas stations April 18.
"Too often there are no consequences in the criminal justice system for this type of outrageous behavior," New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. "Clearly, it’s time for that to change.
"My hope and expectation is that Asil Assaidi will be held fully accountable for his actions."
