The feat of strength took place after an unrelated press conference inside the Cypress Hills Houses in East New York. Following the event, Hizzoner took a stroll to the corner of Hegeman and Fountain Avenues, where Prince Mapp, an individual attempting to ignite a social media campaign, challenged Adams to perform pull-ups in the street. “I got a challenge that I’m doing in New York City called the Pull-up for Peace Challenge, where I’m challenging people in New York to pull up a peace. It’s just bringing a beautiful distraction,” Mapp said. “We want to promote a safe summer.”Mayor Eric Adams went to East New York on Sunday morning to champion public safety for NYCHA residents, but ended up doing pull-ups off a street light.“I got a challenge that I’m doing in New York City called the Pull-up for Peace challenge, where I’m challenging people in New York to pull up a peace.

Then Adams took on the dare, climbing the lamppost before grabbing the metal with both hands and dangling. He then made several strenuous pullups, much to the amusement of locals.“I give the mayor, at his age, his shape. I give him a hard eight,” Mapp told amNewYork. “I’m saying, I’m 50, you know, it’s hard for me. He’s older than me. So I give him a hard eight.” Mayor Eric Adams went to East New York on Sunday morning to champion public safety for NYCHA residents, but ended up doing pull-ups off a street light.Mapp says he is looking to challenge more notable figures to perform the challenge, with President Trump being his most sought-after politician. “Donald Trump seems to be in good health, and he sent a message to the nation about bringing violence down. So, I challenge the President of the United States to give me a Pull up for Peace,” Mapp said.Dean Moses is the Police Bureau Chief at amNewYork and resident photographer.
