  • Unattended Sound Gear Closes Bridge Deck

    A set of “musical equipment” inadvertently caused the closure of the lower level of the Manhattan Bridge for nearly two hours Monday, police said.

    A subway rider called police about 11:30 a.m. with a report of a suspicious backpack, prompting a police investigation and the rerouting of the N and Q trains in both directions between Canal Street and Dekalb Avenue.Police said an investigation of the backpack turned up a set of instruments that were later identified by their owner. Normal train service resumed by 1:30 p.m.
