A large NYPD presence on East 12th Street

A reader report from late this afternoon on 12th Street between Avenue A and B... a reader heard someone yell "Stop him!"

"I saw people from the street and cops running down 12th Street. Got outside and saw them wrestling with this kid. They finally got him under control and took him back down 12th Street toward B. Tons of people outside, tons of cops. Don’t know what he did ..."

Anyone have more details?

Post Irene, East River looks pretty much the same

As Dave on 7th notes, the garbage tells the story. Water level got to promenade level here along East River Park.
