Chaos ensued on the D Train in Bensonhurst last night when a young man holding a baby got into a fight with a female rider.
The young man confronted the rider on account of her loud phone conversation. The rider became furious and pepper-sprayed the boy, who still had the infant in his arms.
According to eyewitnesses, he tried to hand the baby girl over to her mother but accidentally dropped her instead.
According to the New York Post, other bystanders were sprayed and sustained minor injuries. The baby is fine, only sustaining minor injuries as well.
The spray-crazy woman was charged with reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Police and ambulances rushed to assist a special needs school bus crash at Shore Parkway and West 2nd Street early this morning.
Eight passengers with developmental disabilities were aboard the bus. Luckily no one was harmed in the crash according to DNAinfo.com.
It is not yet known what caused the crash.

Three people were wounded yesterday evening, after a mysterious assailant shot them with darts as they walked near 86th Street, police revealed today.
Here’s from NBC New York:
Police say one man in his 60s was struck in the back and leg, another man around the same age was hit in the stomach and another man in his 40s was also hit, although it was not clear where.
The darts appeared to come from a blow gun. The attacks were all in the area of Bay 32nd Street and Bay 36th Street.
None of the victims appear to have been seriously wounded and were taken to Coney Island Hospital for treatment.
All of the attacks happened around 7:00 p.m., police said. They believe the darts were fired from a blowgun.

Early Monday morning police were called to the scene of an attempted suicide. A man, 20, wearing nothing more than his underwear was standing on the ledge of the 18th Avenue D Train station and threatening to jump.
He stood on the ledge for over a half hour until police finally got close enough to tackle to man and restrain him, according to the New York Daily News.
Police closed the intersection of 18th Avenue and 86th Street below during the duration of the threat. The uninjured man was taken to Coney Island Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

A 51-year-old man was found dead yesterday in the Belt Parkway rest area near 4th Avenue, adjacent to the Verrazano Bridge, in what appears to be a suicide.
Police responded to a call of an unconscious male shortly after 3:00 p.m., turning up to find the man in a black Ford Windstar.
EMS declared the man dead on arrival, having suffered a gunshot wound to the head from a .25-caliber semi-automatic firearm, which they found on the floor of the vehicle. Authorities draped a white sheet over the car’s windshield, and used NYPD vehicles to block the view from the hundreds of joggers, cyclists and others enjoying the Shore Parkway Greenway.
Police were on scene as late as 9:30 p.m. The Medical Examiner was also on scene, and one reader tells Bensonhurst Bean that there appeared to be an NYPD Harbor Unit searching the waters around the Brooklyn tower of the Verrazano Bridge.
The Medical Examiner has not formally ruled the death to be a suicide, and an NYPD spokesperson said the investigation is ongoing.
Thanks to Bob De Thomas for the tip.
