After checking in with law enforcement to confirm details — and expecting a standard Sheriff's Office follow-up — officials say they were not involved in this latest episode at 42 Avenue B between Third Street and Fourth Street.
According to a neighboring business, the chaos was internal: a fight reportedly broke out between Green Line workers, who, after drinking, began trashing the store and tossing merchandise into the street. A former employee eventually chased them off and called the manager to say the place was being looted.
At that point, the gate was pulled off its hinges and left in front of the adjacent building.
The Green Line manager later arrived by car and, with help from the building super, packed up the remaining inventory and chained the shop shut. (They even reused the Sheriff's Department lock from a previous enforcement action — visible in the photos.)
As of yesterday, the door remains open but chained, and the dismantled gate is still sitting out on the sidewalk.
