Here are some tips we got over the weekend:

**Hit and Run?** A reader sent in the above photo, saying, “May not be able to see to the left of the man in yellow shirt, but it is a man leaning over a woman who was just hit by a car turning on Ocean and W. Her leg is broken. I was asleep and awoke to screams. I thought someone might have been mugged but instead this was the case. It might have been a hit and run.” This happened on Saturday, around midnight.

**Drowning in Brighton?** Reader Elina N. sent in a note a little before 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, saying, “Someone drowned right now in Brighton beach, search crew and boats and helicopters everywhere.” Well, boats and choppers don’t always mean someone drowned, as [we’ve already learned](/missing-child-spurs-dive-ops-in-manhattan-beach/). Gothamist Maps has this listed as “Water Job” at West 12th Street on the boardwalk.

**Trapped Under the Boardwalk**: No, it’s not a new R. Kelly hip hopera. A few hours after the above incident on Sunday, there were reports of a person being trapped under the boardwalk on Brighton 4th Street.

**Gerritsen Fire:** And since we were over at [Gothamist Maps](http://gothamist.com/map/?ref=bklyner.com) checking on some of the above incidents, there was this one that no one’s mentioned. A fire broke out at around 5:13 p.m. yesterday. That’s all we’ve got.
