False alarm on Brooklyn Bridge triggers search by air, land and sea
The NYPD received a report of someone climbing on the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge late Monday afternoon.
The perp was described as having red hair and wearing blue Bermuda shorts — a description which could only have been improved upon by the addition of a giant, polka-dotted bow tie.
Nonetheless, given the recent “white flag” scare carried out by a crack team of German artists, the situation merited a robust response by the NYPD’s aviation, marine and ground units.
