Dozens of police officers came out to Riverside Park this morning around 119th street after finding a bloody knife and several pools of blood by the tennis courts.
Helicopters were flying over the neighborhood around 8 a.m., and police streamed into the park. NYC Parks Advocates, a blog run by Geoffrey Croft, covered the crime, and reported that the blood came from a 54-year-old man’s suicide attempt. The man apparently checked himself into St. Luke’s Hospital. For more, check out NYC Parks Advocates. We’ll update if we learn more.
