As previously reported on VIN News(http://goo.gl/D1Tigt), two men who had been attempting to pass counterfeit bills in Williamsburg drove their vehicle onto the sidewalk in an attempt to flee the area before police arrived on scene.
The incident took place at the southwest corner of Lee Avenue and Rodney Street and had pedestrians scattering madly as the black sedan barreled down the sidewalk on two separate occasions.
