There was quite a bit of excitement in Carroll Gardens today. This afternoon, at around 2:20pm, PMFA received a report that quite a number of police cars, marked and unmarked, had converged on the F train station at Second Place. After screeching to a halt and blocking Second Place, the officers apparently ran into the station, leaving many passers-by to wonder what had happened.
Apparently, the officers of the 76th Precinct were responding to an unruly passenger on the train.
Carroll Gardener and friend Christine Toes happened to be in the station and posted about the incident on Facebook.
"Apparently, a woman was causing a problem on the F train and police tried to escort her and her friend off the train, but she would not leave." Christine wrote. "For about ten+ minutes, the train sat in the station. Finally, they got her off of the train, but at that point, she was yelling profanities at them. More and more police started showing up while I was now waiting 15 minutes for my train. And this is what it ended up looking like. Like 25 cops."
Christine did not stay to see the officers getting the woman out of the station.
The response seems a bit over the top, doesn't it? Where you there? What do you think?
