MANHATTAN - The City of Manhattan is asking for help to find who damaged freshly poured concrete at the intersection of Browning and Dickens Avenues.

The freshly poured concrete was still curing when an unknown driver drove around barricades and through the concrete.

A pedestrian also walked through the concrete leaving footprints, damaging other sections of the concrete as well.
