Palestinian Flag Removed From Williamsburg Bridge

By Idy Perl

Early this morning, commuters on the Williamsburg Bridge were shocked and appalled to see a giant Palestinian flag being unfurled at the top of the Brooklyn Tower during rush hour.  

Police closed down the bridge as crews were seen climbing the tower to remove the flag. 

The bridge has now reopened in both directions, but residual delays are expected. 

The incident is under investigation by the NYPD. 

This comes just one day after such a flag was hung on a billboard on the BQE right near Williamsburg.
