Bicyclist arrested for trespassing, blames Waze for wrong direction

Waze app

NEW YORK — A New York City bicyclist delivering Chinese food is blaming the Waze navigation app for directing him into the busy Lincoln Tunnel, where bikes are banned.

A Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman said 19-year-old Bruce Lee was stopped on Tuesday evening after he pedaled into the tunnel, which connects Manhattan and New Jersey.

The Staten Island man told police that he was directed into the tunnel under the Hudson River by the Waze app on his phone.

He was arrested on trespassing charges as well as for possession of a weapon after he was found carrying a dagger. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer who could comment.            /kga
