A Saturday noon crush on the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan sidewalk side followed the tearing down of about 460 feet of trolley wire near the New York tower. A west bound Myrtle Avenue car tore a wire support, stopping traffic in both directions. Bridge police deployed and shuttle trains aided until normal service resumed by 2 pm.
