Dangling from chains off a Manhattan hotel balcony, a man showered midtown with bizarre leaflets about Florida tourism yesterday - triggering a massive police response amid fears he had a bomb.
Cops and firefighters swarmed the area around the Kimberly Hotel at 145 E. 50th St. just before 2 p.m., pushing back pedestrians who were craning for a better view.
The flyers were printouts from a Web site (www.antitourflorida.com).
The papers described in rambling detail how bad weather, parking tickets and crime could ruin a tourist's trip to Miami. The Web site is registered to a Mauricio Pavez of Miami, whose listed telephone number has been disconnected. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime_file/story/333667p-285080c.html
