Protest Held In Support Of Subway Musician Arrested In Williamsburg
Fellow musicians are rallying around a subway performer whose arrest in a busy Brooklyn station was captured on video as straphangers jeered the officer.
Andrew Kalleen, 30, was performing Friday at the Lorimer Street-Metropolitan Avenue G-train stop in Williamsburg when an officer told him he must leave the station because he needs a permit to play there. The neighborhood is home to trendy boutiques and cafes patronized by ultrahip residents and tourists who flock there to experience Brooklyn life.
