Nassau Teen Chased Down Man In His Car: Police

A Levittown man was arrested on Monday afternoon after police say he chased down a man on a bicycle with his car.

According to police, the man was riding his bike on Division Avenue around 4:45 p.m. when Tyler Lima, 18, of Albatross Road, started to follow him on foot and yell threats. The man fled on his bicycle in fear of his life.

Police say that Lima then began to follow the man in his black Honda sedan for many blocks, at one point following him the wrong way down a one-way street. Police say the man eventually got away from Lima and called the police. The man knew who Lima was and was able to identify him to police, who arrested Lima at his home without incident.

Lima is charged with first-degree reckless endangerment. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday in First District Court in Hempstead.
