Cops evict man after raid on Manhattan Bridge hobo hovel
A hobo living rent-free inside the Manhattan Bridge lost the city’s sweetest real estate deal on Thursday, when NYPD cops booted him from his fully stocked makeshift loft.

“Police department! Police department!” a team of cops yelled while knocking on the shelter at around 9:50 a.m.
Nobody replied, so officers sawed through the tree-house-style pad, which was built into the bridge’s frame and featured a stove, shelves and kitchen essentials like distilled vinegar, iodized salt and Siracha sauce.
