Ridgewood NJ, there have been multiple reports of diners being hit with water bottles tossed off the Hudson Garage . Last Thursday evening around 6:30pm a group of dinners at Pearl were hit by water bottles and the Ridgewood Police were forced to respond after a 911 call was placed.
At least one of these vehicles hit a utility pole. This knocked out power to at least part of the surrounding neighborhood. Were they responding to the same call at speed, one on East Glen, one on North Van Dien? No wonder the two officers were transported to the hospital–the impact must have been tremendous. Any update on how these officers are faring?
