Person Removed On Stretcher At East 19th St. & Cortelyou Rd.

A neighbor was driving past Cortelyou Rd. at E 19th St. and noticed an accident might have occurred, as a person was being taken away on a stretcher. At the moment, the FDNY does not have any record of responding to an incident at that location, so we’re not sure of the details–but we hope the person is okay.

If we learn anything more, we will let you know.

Update: The 70th Precinct has confirmed that there was an emotionally-disturbed individual on the street who was transported to a care facility.
