BREAKING: Suspicious Packages Closes Seventh Avenue Park Slope Station

A "suspicious package" was found around 11AM this morning at the Seventh Avenue F Station in Park Slope, leading to the closure of the station and surrounding streets. Several blocks of both Seventh Avenue and Ninth Street were sealed off as was the station. We heard one officer describing the package as being about a foot long and possibly resembling a pipe bomb, at least in shape. Another officer simply said that it was a "suspicious package" and that "we aren't taking any chances." Officers at street level appeared relaxed and an Emergency Services Unit team was en route to examine the package.
