A kite string suspended across the Marine Parkway Bridge cut into one bicyclist’s throat and another’s head and finger as they unknowingly rode into it on Sunday, one of the cyclists told Gothamist.

Police confirmed two cyclists were transported to a city hospital in Coney Island after the collision, and that they’re investigating the incident.

One rider, 36-year-old Crown Heights resident Jennifer Noble, said she was biking north on the bridge’s bike lane with her friends at around 5:20 p.m. after a beach day at Jacob Riis Park, when she and one other person rode into the string.

“ I caught it with my hand. I tried to prevent it from moving, but it cut through my fingers and then my forehead and then hit me on the helmet, and I went backwards and it went over me and hit him,” she said.
