Police Investigating ‘Incident’ Near Babylon Ball Field

By Rashed Mian Posted on May 17, 2014

Suffolk County police are investigating an “incident” in Babylon that apparently forced the local little league to cancel scheduled games at a ball field in the area.

A police spokeswoman would not comment further on the incident. She only said that police were called to Locust Avenue near Carll Avenue at 12:12 p.m. and an investigation is ongoing.

The Babylon Little League posted a message on its Facebook page announcing all of Saturday’s remaining games were canceled “due to police activity.”

Newsday reported that a stabbing prompted police to be called to the area, but the police spokeswoman could not confirm if that was the case.
