The NYPD police cars, ambulances, and emergency service unit are parked outside the station on 4th Avenue.
Residents said that someone was walking on the tracks. The Citizen App says that the police are searching for a suspect on the tracks. The Citizen App was correct – the suspect went under the train!
Hopefully, everyone is alright.

October 15, 2025A Kind Person in Bay Ridge Returned An Envelope With $500 Cash
A Bay Ridge resident shared on social media that they lost an envelope with $500 cash near Ovington Avenue:
Prayers to St. Anthony poured in from neighbors.
A few hours later the person announced that someone returned the envelope.
There is a little more to this story that was shared with me.
The person who found the envelope, knocked on the door of the home nearby the money. When they found out the envelope didn’t belong to those people, the person knocked on everyone’s door in the area. Thank you to this good person – may you have many wonderful days.
