A New Jersey town is reviewing its bicycle license rules after a video captured cops handcuffing a Black teen and seizing bikes from him and his friends

• Perth Amboy City Council President William A. Petrick told Insider the city is reviewing its ordinance requiring cyclists to have licenses to ride in the streets.
• The announcement comes after police confiscated bikes from teens and put one of the teens in handcuffs.
• The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office is reviewing video footage of the incident.

The city council president of a New Jersey town where police confiscated bikes from teens and took one of the teens into custody said officials are reviewing an ordinance that requires license tags for cyclists.

"We are going to review our ordinance," Perth Amboy City Council President William A. Petrick told Insider, referring to a city rule that requires cyclists to have license tags to ride in streets or on highways.

He did not provide further information about the review, but his comment comes after Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone said she would be reviewing footage of the incident.

"The facts and circumstances of this incident are being reviewed by the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office in conjunction with the Perth Amboy Police Chief Roman McKeon and other law enforcement officials from the City of Perth Amboy," the prosecutor's office said in a statement on Middlesex County's website.

"Every juvenile being taken into custody by law enforcement in Middlesex County is of the utmost concern to Prosecutor Ciccone and this young person is no different," the statement added. "What occurred before, during and after the incident depicted is under review."

A video of featuring parts of the incident was shared on YouTube on April 17.

It shows a group of teens riding their bikes through Perth Amboy, New Jersey, while popping wheelies and riding against traffic.

Eventually, some of the teens are stopped by a police officer who warns them about interfering with traffic and says they're not supposed be riding without licenses.

After a cut in the video, the footage shows an escalated situation, with one officer ordering her colleagues to confiscate the bikes.

One of the teens who refused to hand over his bike was put in handcuffs and taken into custody. He was later released, and it's unclear if he is facing charges.

All four bikes were also returned to the teens, NJ.com reported. It's unclear if the teens faced fines after being stopped by police.

Petrick previously told NJ.com that the officer who ordered others to confiscate the bikes "did the right thing."

"What happens is they do create a dangerous situation that could end up with one of them getting injured or killed, and then it's not their fault, it's the operator of a motor vehicle's fault," he said.

The Perth Amboy Police Department did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
