Neither more nor less

Thursday evening shortly after 7PM 5 police vehicles including one un-marked vehicle entered Tompkins Square Park . With red lights flashing the vehicles rolled slowly through the more infamous sections of T.S.P. , that is Crusty Row and the chess tables . A man was reported to be on the loose  somewhere near the chess tables with a large orange handled knife .

While 9th precinct personnel at the chess tables were looking for the man with the knife  another NYPD narcotics unit was conducting a traditional Thursday night TSP sweep .Members of this unit very dramatically collared a drug sales suspect  just outside the park on the Avenue A side walk .

The man with the knife was not found .
