This would be the time to remind children that plan on bike riding or rollerblading in this beautiful weather of the rules that will keep them safe. These should include; that they should get off their bike when crossing streets, look in all directions, hey it’s Brooklyn you may never know when someone will decide to drive a few blocks in reverse, and when rollerblading to wear protective gear (i.e. helmet, etc.). Don’t forget that anyone under 14 riding a bicycle is required by law to wear a helmet.

B”H there were no serious injuries and while Hatzalah treated him on the scene, as a precaution they nevertheless took him to Kings County Hospital. NYPD responded to the call as well.
