Even on a dark, gray rainy day there is always something new happening. This afternoon, after the rain stopped we noticed the Red-tailed Hawk soar by after pigeons and  spotted  six police officers and a suspect in a pink shirt and black cap, on a nearby rooftop! This not anything that we commonly see. It was a first.

One officer searched the rooftops. The others cuffed the suspect, secured him further with something that resembled reins or a leash.

The officers waved at a neighbor in a nearby window, and lowered the suspect carefully into the building onto the staircase or ladder that led to the roof.   The officers followed down the staircase and took the suspect’s full backpack and helmet with them.

We know nothing more.

We will let you know if we learn more. When we walk the dog, we will walk by and ask one of the best sources of local news: a doorman. Doormen are better than much media.
