An elderly man in an apartment on East 22nd Street (across from the Flatiron Building) alledgedly waved a gun at a window washer earlier today. After seeing something, the window washer called 911 and said something. The cops closed off the street and confused office workers took to Twitter. Rumors ran rampant.
After about a 90 minute standoff, the man, clad in short-short cut-offs and a torn t-shirt that said “Richer Poorer” turned himself in and was taken to Bellevue Hospital, NY Daily News reports.
There were no hostages and nobody was harmed.

I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, http://to.ly/aQrp
