Loads of cops to Exchange Place (City Diner-ish) around 4pm -- anyone know what's up?
I was down around there, heard a lot of shouting, and cop cars were zooming in that direction for a good 20 minutes, sirens blaring. The weather was brutal, so I didn't want to stick around, but I'm still nosy about it. Anyone know what happened?

I heard someone tried to rob the Wells Fargo and then smashed into a cop car. And I'm standing here like a chump hoping the light rail is running :/
Wow that's awesome.
On my way home, a woman told me that the Light Rail was down. Sucks that there isn't some sort of up-to-date display at the station to let you know about drops in service. Is there? There should be.
It's running now, the line cleared up right when I posted. I haven't found anything online yet about the alleged robbery - I'll keep looking.
it was only down btwn essex & exchange place... I walked to Harborside and it was running to Hoboken / Tonnelle from there. I imagine it was running south from Marin.
There are the few signs that show the next train, they usually let you know of service interruptions. I know they let people know that the West Side Ave rail doesn't run from 9th street on the weekends.
You can also sign up for alerts via NJ Transit's website.
