Thousands attend 68th Precinct ‘National Night Out’ against crime
Music was in the air at the Bay Ridge version of “National Night Out,” the anti-crime event aimed at bringing cops and citizens closer together.
Thousands of people came to Shore Road Park at 79th Street to enjoy a concert by ABBA Girlz, an ABBA tribute band, Tuesday night.
The show was part of an event that had a festival atmosphere. There were rides and games for kids and children even had the chance to sit in a real police car with a cop. There were raffles for prizes such as dinnerware sets, a George Foreman grill, movie passes to the Alpine Theater, and a four-foot-tall teddy bear nicknamed “Officer Rich.” Cops were busy all night, manning the barbeque and handing out free hot dogs.
