Man On Bridge Had Called Inquirer

Yesterday, a man (armed with a toy gun he said was real) shut down the Walt Whitman bridge for three hours during rush hour. While he and his girlfriend with a litany of crimes, everything was handled without any violent incident, fortunately.

Today both 35-year-old John Reed and 31-year-old Monica Hayman are under medical observation. And, what do you know, earlier this week Reed was looking for help at the Inquirer:

Reed called the Inquirer’s South Jersey bureau on Tuesday complaining that his family was being threatened. He claimed he had contacted several law enforcement agencies but none would assist him.

“He seemed like a nice guy actually,” said an editor who took the call. Though he didn’t clearly articulate what the threats were, he said his phone and email had been “compromised.”

So, can we call the Inquirer for our emergency calls? Are they this “311″ I’ve been hearing so much about?

    Good Day Philadelphia also said he came to the Fox’s offices earlier this week as well saying his life was in danger. Natch, they called the cops on him and had him removed.
