The incident is part of a broader NYPD crackdown on illegal street takeovers and car meet-ups, with similar arrests reported in other Bronx gatherings.

Seven people were arrested around 2:30 a.m. in the Eastchester section of the Bronx after a 911 call about drag racing, with four suspects facing charges of criminal possession of a weapon and ages ranging from 19 to 24.

Seven people were arrested and three vehicles were seized after the NYPD dispersed an illegal car meetup in the Bronx early Sunday morning.

Council Public Safety Committee Chair Oswald Feliz plans to question Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch next month about the trend and enforcement response, calling for more consistent enforcement.

The report notes prior incidents where drivers performed dangerous stunts in front of police and on police vehicles, underscoring concerns about safety and the need for accountability.

Among those issued summonses, two drivers were cited for illegal window tints and five for disorderly conduct.

Most participants fled when police arrived; a portion remained at the scene leading to arrests and summonses.

Witnesses estimated about a dozen vehicles were en route to the meet-up, but most scattered when police arrived, with accounts noting racing and donuts in the street.

Officers responded around 2:30 a.m. at the intersection of Hollers Avenue and Pinkney Avenue in Eastchester.

Local residents interviewed described the meet-ups as a regular, dangerous occurrence and expressed fear of retaliation for speaking on camera.

Three of the four arrestees were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm, while a fourth suspect faced charges including criminal possession of a forged instrument, unlawful possession of an ammunition device, and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

Four individuals were charged with criminal possession of a weapon, one with possession of a forged instrument, one for driving on a suspended or revoked license, and one person was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
