Man Who Lapped Manhattan in 24 Minutes Flees U.S. to Avoid Jail Adam Tang, alias “Afroduck,” has laid claim to the alleged fastest lap around Manhattan: 26.5 miles in just over 24 minutes. He may also hold the title of world’s cockiest criminal, telling the NYPD to come and get him after fleeing to his native Canada during the trial that found him guilty last week. The ’duck is on the lam. In an interview with NYC’s WABC-TV, 31-year-old Afroduck maintains his incredulousness at the legal proceedings against him. “I mean, sure, maybe I did a stupid thing, I thought I could make a cool video, I thought New Yorkers would appreciate it . . . in hindsight, yeah, it was something stupid, but do you think what I did was dangerous?” The NYPD sure thought so. After Afroduck uploaded a video of his record run to YouTube, the authorities tracked him down through his IP address. The state threw the book at him and found him guilty of second-degree reckless endangerment and reckless driving.
