A young man and his pal tried to light a stink bomb at a crowded Brooklyn art show, prompting the evacuation of more than 600 people, authorities said yesterday.
After the fuse was ignited, one suspect, Alan Cooper, 24, cowered in a corner at the Front St. warehouse in DUMBO just after 11p.m. Thursday before security staff pounced on him and a deejay stamped out the flame, witnesses said.
