An NYC daredevil turned a flatbed truck into his personal dance floor, hopping on the speeding vehicle as it cruised across a bridge.

The bold 28-year-old, identified as Arnesia Crawford by Long Island outlet News 12, was captured strutting shirtless on the in-motion flatbed while it drove down the George Washington Bridge. The footage, caught earlier this month, shows the daredevil prancing about on the truck without a care in the world.
In one key moment, Crawford seems to notice he's being filmed by a passerby. Seemingly knowing the footage will go viral, the dancing daredevil grabs his crotch, doing his best King of Pop imitation.
The footage, shared by TikTok user John Ortiz, shows Crawford wandering up and down the flatbed. At one point, Crawford relaxed near the cab of the truck before pouncing back down onto the flatbed. Meanwhile, the video's filmer did his best to alert the driver of the flatbed truck about his showboating stowaway.
"Only in NYC... WILD," Ortiz wrote alongside his post.
It's unclear whether the driver knew about Crawford. Regardless, the dancing daredevil was arrested by the Port Authority Police shortly after the incident. Per News 12, Crawford was "charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct." He was also taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Meanwhile, another onlooker speculated on what might have really been going down.
"Prolly safer for the driver to keep driving... also he lowkey look like someone following behind shooting a music video. Gotham wild," the internet sleuth wrote.
Gotham wild, indeed.
