Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 2 Evacuated Again by NYPD
Police brought in after brawl on Wednesday
Another evacuation of Brooklyn Bridge Park by police took place on Wednesday, May 11, after hundreds of young people gathered at Pier 2, the site of the park’s basketball courts and other exercise equipment, and a brawl reportedly broke out.
Cops shut down the pier late Wednesday afternoon. According to an unverified report from a park-goer on social media, a fight had taken place involving “bats canes bottles knifes grips it was like world war park.”
Another witness wrote that people were “popping out with sticks & bats then sh*t happen.”
