Bwog has received several e-mails about a violent incident outside McBain at about 4:30 AM this morning. Calls to Public Safety have so far proved fruitless, so we thought we’d at least print the eyewitness accounts until more information becomes available:

nypd“I was sleeping peacefully in my room above Nussbaum last night when at around 4:30 in the morning, I woke to blood-curdling screams, next thing I knew, two men (both who looked young from my window) were being arrested with no less than 5 cop cars and 8 NYPD on the job, and one sobbing girl standing out in front of the entrance to McBain.”

“At about 4 am there was some drunken shouting between someone in McBain and some drunk guy on the street. Not sure if it was connected with what happened 30 minutes later, but it’s 4:34 am right now and I heard a woman screaming loudly and crying. I had no idea what was going on but I knew it wasn’t just drunk screaming anymore. She was LOUD.

I jumped out of bed, rushed downstairs, and told the security guard, who said it was nothing – that it was from 112th street, but I told him no I heard it coming from 113th. Then he flips on his security cam and I saw the WHOLE THING go down. There was struggling, fighting, and a woman in a white coat screaming. Then the cops pulled up and BAM tackled one of the guys (not sure how many there were).”
