Greenpoint Explosions Tuesday Were Just Candy, Police Say

GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN — If you heard massive explosions and saw chunks of debris falling from the sky on Tuesday, don’t worry, police say it’s only candy.

A film crew shot air cannons at candy glass windows and threw rubber debris from rooftops on Freeman Street between West and Franklin streets between noon and 6 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

Police did not specify who would be exacting revenge on candy windows and rubber debris, but the Freeman shoot is happening on a block where “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” is often filmed.

The building at 74 Freeman St. serves as the exterior for the home of the show’s eponymous heroine, her cape-respecting roommate and her hipster-hating landlady, according to NYCGo.com.

City officials confirmed that both police and the FDNY were on site in case the candy window also proved to be unbreakable.
