CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

NBC New York reports:

An out-of-control car plowed into the streetside outdoor dining area at a Brooklyn restaurant Thursday, video showed, and then immediately took off after injuring at least one customer.

The car turned onto Franklin Street in Greenpoint around lunchtime and came crashing into where tables and chairs were set up for outdoor dining at Cafe Alula, video shows. As the car barreled through the partition separating the area from the street, diners were sent running.

One woman was hurt in the incident, and was taken to the hospital but fortunately was not seriously injured. She was released a short time later with some bruising.
