An investigation is underway after someone replaced two American flags on top of the Brooklyn Bridge with white ones.
Police and the Department of Transportation are trying to figure out who switched out the flags and when it happened.
City agencies are working to determine whether another agency did it for some reason.
The Emergency Service Unit removed the pair of mysterious white flags.
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said he’s confident the NYPD will get to the bottom of things.
In a statement, Adams said, in part, “If flying a white flag atop the Brooklyn Bridge is someone’s idea of a joke, I’m not laughing. The public safety of our city is of paramount importance, particularly our landmarks and bridges that are already known to be high-risk targets.”
