Pedestrians and drivers traversing the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday afternoon were in for an unusual sight when they noticed a large group of people scaling the Brooklyn Bridge and congregating on the overpass’ west (Manhattan side) tower around 4 p.m.
The individuals on top of the bridge were, according to Police Officer Sochia Mason, part of the NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit.
“It’s just a routine drill,” Mason told Prospect Heights Patch. “We do it all the time.”
