Food cart vendor catches pigeons with bare hands

In the widely circulated video, a man, reportedly a worker from the “MS Halal Food” cart, is seen chasing pigeons on a busy New York City sidewalk. To the shock of onlookers, he manages to catch one of the birds directly off the pavement with his bare hands, without wearing gloves or using any protective covering.

What has raised even more alarm is that the man then carries the pigeon back into the food truck, sparking immediate concerns about hygiene and food safety practices. The unsettling footage has fueled public outrage.

The worker, reportedly, looked around first for any onlookers and then proceeded to make a catch for the birds. A commuter waiting for a bus near the Rego Center Mall on Queens Boulevard on Dec. 29 witnessed the worker feeding pigeons next to the MS Halal truck before the unsettling incident unfolded.
