Staten Island Ferry as Getaway Boat

Gothamist reported the story that five teenagers were arrested as they tried to flee a crime scene on the Staten Island Ferry. One of the teenagers allegedly punched another teenager near the St. George Ferry Terminal, then boarded the Ferry with four other friends. Police caught up with them - there isn’t really anywhere to go on a ferry - and took them into custody at the Whitehall terminal. Maybe next time they’ll try the Ikea water taxi.
