In their zest to catch all those “non-essential” businesses that are open around the city, the NYC Sheriff Department decided to illegally block an “essential” service: The Williamsburg Hatzolah garage on Park Avenue. For those unaware, the ambulance garage is used 24/7 to respond to dozens of emergencies each day.
An eye-witness tell YWN that the car pulled up at the garage located at 518 Park Avenue at 3:21PM Monday afternoon and parked the wrong way. Two deputies exited the vehicle, walked to the garage, and attempted to look into the building. They both nonchalantly turned and walked away towards a few stores located to the left of the building.
The two deputies returned to their vehicle at precisely 3:43PM.
They were apparently very concerned with “saving lives” by making sure small-businesses are closed, but did not seem too concerned that their reckless move could of very likely killed someone.
It was unknown if the store-owners were issued summonses.
Many store owners and small-businesses around the city have been issued fines by the Sheriff Department. Despite the fines and court appearance dates issued, many store-owners continue to open in defiance of the executive order to remain shut.
As YWN published on Sunday, thousands of small business owners have banded together in opposition of Cuomo’s continued lockdowns. They say that big box stores are overcrowded and overwhelmed, and these small businesses believe that being allowed to reopen would alleviate that burden and provide a safer environment for shopping.

It’s not “outrageous”.
It’s called antisemitism.
Look it up, it’s a real thing!
i’m not trying to be dan lekaf zechus, but one does have to be careful before throwing accusations.
Is it perhaps possible that the sheriff walked to the hatzolah building precisely BECAUSE he wanted to make sure no vehicles would have to go out? as in, if there was no vehicle presently inside, it wouldnt be blocking any life saving?
Or is it known that they were actually impeding emergency vehicles?
Gotta be careful with this stuff…
they should have slashed all their four tires and smashed all the windows
Hatzolah should tow him away.
Their reckless move could HAVE killed someone. Not could OF. If you are a “journalist” please use proper English. It makes the article look pretty silly.
Democrats!
Democrats!
Democrats!
And Trump is being accused of totalitarianism. Our form of governance is supposed to be by the people and for the people. Democrats run it wholly differently.
Outrageous! Putting lives in danger!
AND… we as a community should be just as outraged with the Yeshivas opening up against the law. Not only does it put those teenagers in danger, it also puts their families in danger when they go home. Also, don’t forget the chilul Hashem that these incidents cause which affect all frum Jews around the world.
time to send king Mario a clear message ‘ new yorkers are not your subjects.
Please be aware that a Dr. Knut Wittkowski, a highly respected epidemiologist from a NY university, said that the lockdown has been done backwards. Care and quarantine for the elderly above 70 and leave stores and schools open!
He has been censored! And he is not alone!
from one Emergency professional to another
maybe they looked to see if the Ambulance was OUT and since they were in the neighborhood they would see and know when it returned in the meantime they needed to park to carry out there important role

Using the word “news” in the title of the blog is misleading. This site is more opinion than news.
Hatzola should have called a tow truck.
