New York City Mayor Mamdani faced public criticism after being filmed riding a bicycle without wearing a helmet, even as he oversees the New York Police Department, which is responsible for enforcing traffic regulations.
He responded to the backlash with a video statement, saying: "You're right - I need to do better."
In the video released by the city, he is shown opening a closet and pulling out a new helmet, which he then places on his head in response to the public criticism.
