The fears of the neighborhood old-timers, who for years blocked the restoration of McCarren Park Pool because of concerns about violence, are proving prescient. As already reported, teenagers attacked a lifeguard on Friday (the day after the WPA-era pool reopened) and now, report both The Times and the Daily News, three young men were arrested yesterday after they ignored instructions to stop running and diving in shallow waters and, in the case of one of the youths, proceeded to punch a police officer. Appalling.
