🌱 Bushwick Hit-And-Run + Church Avenue Station Conductor Attacked

Happy Tuesday, Brooklyn! I am your host, Patrick Murray here with three fresh headlines to kick off your day.

First, today's weather:

A morning shower, warmer with a high of 71 and a low of 52.

Here are the top stories in Brooklyn today:

1. A 12-year-old boy was struck in a hit-and-run incident on Monday morning in Bushwick. Police said that the black or gray Chevrolet truck struck the boy's leg as it made a left turn onto Bleecker Street. The boy was treated for minor leg injuries as the suspect fled the scene. (Audacy)
2. An MTA conductor was punched and slashed with a sharp object after she had asked a man to stop smoking on her train. The incident occurred on a southbound F train near the Church Avenue station on March 19, and police are still searching for the suspect. The victim was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital, where she required stitches for her cuts. (NBC New York)
3. More than 200 local artists participated in the latest Arts Gowanus exhibit “Brooklyn Utopias: Along the Canal," which opened this past weekend. A collection of paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures, all done by local artists, were revealed during the two-day celebration. The new exhibit will be on display through June 26 with an indoor gallery at Old Stone House and two outdoor public art displays in JJ Byrne Playground and Coffey Park. (Brooklyn Paper)
