Possible Ninja Turtle Smoke Bombs West Village Restaurant
At about 6 p.m. Friday night, a mysterious figure emerged—Whac-A-Mole-style—from sidewalk grate on Sixth Avenue and threw two road flares into chic Village eatery Da Silvano. The burning flares immediately filled the restaurant's outdoor seating area with smoke, surprising diners that included Rose McGowan.
Someone just threw two red smoke bombs into the restaurant I was eating in. Eyes are burning. #NYCWHAT

The unsolved ambush, of course, has all the hallmarks of a C.H.U.D. attack, but witnesses at the scene offered their own theories about the identity of the bomber.
"I saw him come out," restaurant manager Anthony Curko told the New York Post, "it was like Ninja Turtles."
Long Island native Kay Maygothling disagreed with Curko's turtle hypothesis, telling CBS2, "First thought was ISIS with everything going on."
According to police, the suspect was wearing an American flag t-shirt and a baseball cap. Meaning, concerned New Yorkers should keep a look out for one of those really ironic terrorists.
