Balloon Update From Macy's

By Newsradio 88 Staff

The word from Macy's ...all of the balloons that suffered wind damage during the Thanksgiving Day parade ..will be repaired ...and they'll march again.

The Cat in the Hat balloon danced a tough tango with the howling wind..smashing into a light post ...sending it crashing down onto spectators.

One woman remains in critical condition.

Some children got the scare of their lives ...when cops took scissors to an out of control Barney balloon.

This father of three saw the whole thing ..and says police did the best they could.

Another parade watcher got it all on home video -- the tape, shown on News 2 shows one cop stabbing Barney and doing a victory dance -- the department is investigating, and the worst crime any cop may be guilty of in the incident is donning his police cap backward.
