The incident comes after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered a crackdown on street gatherings as the weather warms up. 

Referencing reports of people hanging outside Big Apple bars, de Blasio said Sunday:  'If you start to form groups of people and then 2, 3, 5 and it becomes 6, it becomes 10, it becomes 15, that violates what we're saying about social distancing and that puts lives in danger.'

'We are not going to tolerate people starting to congregate. It's as simple as that;.

A spokesperson from the Mayor's office told NBC New York Tuesday that 'that crowds like that [as seen in the Brownsville video] are not allowed, and should be broken up by police. Anyone who refuses to disperse should be issued a summons'.
