A gang of 50 bikers in Halloween costumes terrorized drivers across at least four Suffolk County towns Sunday, in the latest case of motorcycle madness.
The cyclists cut off other motorists, swarmed on sidewalks and even smashed into a police car in Brentwood.
There were three arrests, but, luckily, no one was hurt.
“It’s crazy that they did this after what happened in the city,” said Suffolk Police Sgt. Rocco Baudo.
“You think they would have been smarter.”
The Long Island bikers, many sporting skeleton masks and hoodies, sped through residential areas in Brentwood, Islip, Bay Shore an Deer Park at around 3:30 p.m.
They also disrupted traffic on busy Sunrise Highway.
The biker accused of hitting the police car was identified as Matthew Valentine, of East Quogue. He and two of his pals were busted for reckless driving.
At least 30 others got tickets.
Michelle Able, 31, of Islip, said the pack of bikers came flying down her block “buzzing like bees.”
“It could have been a very dangerous situation,’’ she said. “I’m glad the cops stopped them.’’
Jason Tunbull, who also lives in Islip, said the bikers “were acting pretty foolish, doing wheelies and getting in the way.”
“It’s just not safe the way they drive around.’’
One of the bikers, who asked not to be identified, whined, “We’ve been doing this for years.
“We were just having fun. We weren’t hurting anyone. Bikers get profiled now after what happened in New York. It’s not fair.”
Baudo said that several frightened motorists reported the gang.
“Everybody’s on edge after what happened in the city and on the LIE,’’ he said.
He was referring to a ride on the Long Island Expressway Oct. 14, when a gang of bikers sped along the highway, weaving around terrified motorists while committing almost every traffic violation in the book.
Seven bikers were busted in that case.
In the notorious Manhattan incident, a pack of “Hollywood Stuntz” motorcyclists dragged a driver out of his Range Rover and beat him in front of his wife and toddler daughter just off the West Side Highway on Sept. 29.
It was later learned that at least three off-duty cops, including an undercover officer, had been part of the gang. Nine people have been busted.
Those bikers attacked Alexian Lien — after he had desperately pulled off at an exit — because he had accidentally struck one of them with his SUV while attempting to flee in fear for his family.
The biker he hit, Edwin Mieses, suffered injuries that might leave him paralyzed.
