Motorcross rider caught racing through Venice
The police on Tuesday, January 10 in Venice nabbed what at first appeared to be a crazed motorcyclist who had been terrorizing residents and tourists by racing through the lagoon city’s historic center. And the switchboard operator at police headquarters reportedly that thought she was the target of a prank when calls came in complaining about a man racing his hot new motocross bike down Venice’s narrow streets, across its picturesque bridges and along the canals, past slow-moving gondolas.
