Attack by Fountain at Brooklyn Borough Hall

Police searched the Brooklyn Borough Hall fountain and the ground around it by flashlight about 7:45 Thursday night, looking for a heavy object that was allegedly used to attack a passerby.

The guy seen sitting on the bench in the bus shelter -- with his hands cuffed behind his back -- was accused of hitting a man in the head with the object. The victim of the attack was loaded into the ambulance seen here. The extent of his injuries aren't known.

Four police cars with uniformed officers -- and what appeared to be several plainclothes officers -- were at the scene.
