CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Friday night at around 6:15pm, a resident on his way to Shul, noticed a small suitcase lying on the sidewalk of President Street between Albany and Troy Avenue and heard a buzzing sound coming from within it. He then approached a Police Officer posted on the corner and informed him of his suspicion.

Moments later the block filled with hundreds of Police Officers and Firefighters, all of whom staged a ‘safe area’ and evacuated the block. Mothers and young children were all forced out of their homes and into the cold due to the bomb scare.
