| Hundreds of skateboarders who were banned from rolling through New York City in an annual race called the Broadway Bomb took to the streets anyway, despite a heavy police presence.
Police massed on Manhattan's West Side Saturday in an attempt to deter nearly 2,000 skaters from defying a court order cancelling the 8-mile cruise down the Great White Way. No arrests have been reported.
Officers played warnings over a loudspeaker and deployed orange nets to block intersections, but they also tolerated some groups of skateboarders who detoured around the barricades and rolled south.
Last year, around 1,000 people rode longboards all the way to Wall Street from Morningside Heights.
But this year the city got a judge to issue an order blocking the event as unsafe.
