Yesterday afternoon, witnesses saw a woman throw a baby stroller or carriage into the New York Harbor off Battery Park. A witness told WCBS 2, "I looked over the railing and I saw this baby carriage floating, looked like it was collapsed. She held it over her head like she was contemplating whether she was going to do it or not. And then she tossed it over the side."
Another witness who happened to be an ex-cop, said he found a police officer and said, "You need to stop that lady. I said, 'she threw a stroller in the river -- I don't know if it's got a baby in it or not, you need to stop her.' He said, 'I'm on fixed duty, I can't do anything.'"
A big rescue effort, with hundreds of members from the NYPD, FDNY, and Coast Guard, took place, with helicopters, boats, and divers looking for the stroller and a possible baby. While last night's search found nothing, police will reportedly continue the search efforts and are also looking for the woman. It's our hope that the stroller was empty.

"It's our hope that the stroller was empty."
really? wow – way to go out on a journalistic limb.
I'm not familiar with the Hudon river. Is it truly a river? Or perhaps only a stream, creek, or tributary? Surely not a rivulet!
'I'm on fixed duty, I can't do anything.'?
...
wow.
"I'm on fixed duty, I can't do anything."
Yeah, that's Old School NYPD, man! Bustin' it like in the old days, screw Copstat! That's the best remark I've heard since "We're not Columbo."

Yeah, that's awesome. Does that mean we can go back to drinking beer in the park as long as we have a brown paper bag over it? Will the Lincoln Tunnel squee-gee guys be coming back to clean the windshields of cars entering the city?
Yay!
"i'm on fixed duty"?!
i'm gonna try that next time someone asks me to do something.
What happened to the woman? Obviously the idiot cop on fixed duty let her slipped away.
"Help, police, that blood soaked maniac is stabbing people with a knife!"
"Sorry I can't do anything, I am on fixed duty!"
What else do you expect from someone making $35,000 a year to risk their life? Motivated public service? Keep dreaming.
