Bicyclists keep getting hurt riding into mystery string on Marine Parkway Bridge

"I felt pain, but I didn't know what it was and there was nobody around me," said Angel Montalvo, 36, who described being struck around 8:15 p.m. Sunday while riding an e-bike north back to Bay Ridge after a day at the beach. Montalvo was left with thin, line-shaped red marks across their neck and forehead.

Cyclists slashed by taut string on Marine Parkway Bridge
