IT wasn’t an ordinary police call of someone trying to duck a subway fare. New York City officers found themselves chasing a duck that had strayed onto the tracks of a Brooklyn subway station Friday morning. Police arrived at the Jefferson Street station on the L line around 9 a.m. to find the duck down at the tracks. Officers Frantz Chauvet and Anastasiya Mishchenko and detectives Kevin Conway and Michael Black worked to rescue it. The New York Police Department’s Transit Bureau posted a video on Twitter of the officers carrying the bird along the platform, and later releasing the duck in a park from a police-tape-wrapped box. The bird hopped out and waddled off down a snowy path. Chief Joseph Fox quipped that the “apprehension went swimmingly.” (SD-Agencies) |
