Police in New York City are investigating a bizarre occurrence at the Brooklyn Bridge. A pair of whitewashed American flags was raised. The entirely white flags had been placed on the supporting stones that hold cables over the bridge.
Typically, white flags are raised to represent a surrender. Police were dispatched to the scene to deal with the situation.
Someone deliberately replaced the traditional flags with the white ones, but the individual or group’s identity has not been released by police.
Shortly after cops arrived, both flags had been removed.
Even though there is a cloud of mystery surrounding the stunt, the enterprise called Bike Lobby took to Twitter to accept guilt for pulling it off. A post reads “Earlier today we hoisted two white flags to signal our complete surrender of the Brooklyn Bridge bicycle path to pedestrians.”
It’s not clear if the Twitter post is a joke or not.
