(New York Post) A melee today shut down a newly renovated pool at McCarren Park in Brooklyn a day after it reopened — after lifeguards were attacked by a rowdy group of teens.
“Lifeguards at McCarren Pool were attacked by an unruly crowd, and the pool had to close to restore order,” Parks Department spokeswoman Vickie Karp said.
Karp said the incident occurred around 6:15 p.m., less than hour before the Olympic-sized pool on the Greenpoint-Williamsburg border was expected to close for the night.
