An elderly cowboy caused a traffic nightmare on the Outerbridge Crossing on Monday as he rode across the busy span on horseback — while towing another horse. It was unclear what crime the horse-back rider might be charged with. The horseback rider resembles Doc Mishler, a man in his 80s, who has taken to riding cross-country and in Europe as a means of promoting a Christian charity that seeks to feed homeless children. “This is one for the lawyers, because technically, horses are modes of transportation,” said one official. The officers responded by using a police car to establish a safety zone behind the horseback rider, which served as an escort over the bridge towards the Staten Island toll booth, where police were checking him for warrants.
