⬛ MANHATTAN

▀ Lower Manhattan: Rabble-Rouser Tests Arresting Cops’ Stamina

CUSTOMERS WERE GETTING harassed by a maniac who allegedly threatened to deck a worker inside an office building.

The 26-year-old was standing outside the sliver where he was taunting patrons and making problems for the workers. And when the cops caught up to him on Broadway and Vesey Street on the afternoon of Sept. 25, they met quite the match.

To suggest he resisted arrest would be like calling Mt. Everest a mole hill.

A bystander captured the offender roughing up two cops, tossing the female officer to the ground and stepping on her throat. Notably, she hung onto the perp’s ankle as her partner and other cops wrestled the him down.

The brazen goon grabbed the officer's Taser weapon, and at one point he grabbed the cops neck obstructing his wind. With enough hands (and a throng of spectators) — the perp was finally pinned and hit with a battery of charges.

The Brooklyn man was finally taken away and hit with robbery, assault on a police officer, criminal obstruction of breathing, obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest, and trespass.

He was since arraigned two days later and pleaded not guilty and he was released on supervised release with non-monetary bail conditions.

⬛ THE BRONX

▀ Parkchester: Screwball Slugger Sends Rival To Hospital In Screwdriver Attack 

SHE ALMOST KILLED him. 

A woman’s brutal beatdown of a man nearly ended in a fatality. 

The 39-year-old woman was outside an apartment building on East 172nd Street near Commonwealth Avenue on the morning of Aug.26. 

The assailant, armed with a screwdriver, stepped to the man and tuned up his face and struck his shoulder with a series of punches. 

After inflicting the punishment to the man, his attacker took the screwdriver and allegedly “thrust” it toward the victim. 

He somehow dodged the blow. 

But in doing so, the man’s cell phone slipped out of his pocket. 

He kept running. 

But the woman was picked-up by the cops and she was nailed for robbery, menacing, assault, petit larceny, weapons possession, and harassment.

⬛ BROOKLYN

▀ East New York: Goon Shares Romp Video With Him And Victim In Group Chat

A SLEAZEBAG THOUGHT it would be fun to share a secret sex video he made with a partner over text messages. 

At around 5:40 p.m. on Aug. 17, the demon lover, 23, allegedly sent a text to a group chat showing him and another getting intimate. 

Specifically, the victim was party to a group chat where the suspect sent a video that featured oral sez and them having sex. 

It’s unclear why the wait to nab him, but the perp was formally hit with with unlawful publication of an intimate image and disorderly behavior charges.

⬛ QUEENS

▀ Far Rockaway: Woman Rats Out Ex For Illegal Arms — Real And Fake 

MAYBE HE SCORNED her one too many times. Did he cheat on her? Once? Thrice? 

Whatever peeved his now ex-girlfriend — it inspired her to seek out revenge. And she did by dropping a dime on him for his arms. 

The 56-year-old was paid a visit by coppers overnight on Sept. 13 inside the suspect’s Plunkett Avenue abode. 

Cops searched the home and in the bedroom closet — the officers discovered a backpack with a .32 caliber Gecado Revolver (plus six rounds of Smith & Wesson rounds), one 9mm caliber R. Knall imitation revolver, and a pair of knuckle dusters. 

The ex beau was dinged with criminal possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a toy/imitation pistol.

⬛ STATEN ISLAND

▀ New Dorp: Irate Hammer-Swinging Homeowner To Man, ‘Mind Your Business Before I Fucking Kill You!’

HE LOST IT and then took a headshot. 

Whoever it was that was standing inside the 32-year-old man’s Colfax Avenue home — they were about to get the business. 

Tempers flared sometime around 8 p.m. on July 10. 

❝

‘Get the fuck out of my house!’

-Furious hammerman takes swing at man he wants gone

Or at least his did. 

The resident who apparently couldn’t keep his cool turned against the other person and belted, “Get the fuck out of my house!”

He added, “Mind your business before I kill you!”

And he was not exaggerating. 

For he immediately grabbed a hammer and started going for the man’s dome. 

But in his rage, he swung and missed. 

He struck a wall instead. 

That swing and miss ended with him getting pinched for menacing, weapons possession, attempted assault, menacing, and harassment.

⬛ WANTED V. NABBED

▀ Baller (Brooklyn, NY)

A BASKETBALLER CLOCKED an elderly man several times for his phone and iPad.

The perp struck at around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 12, where a 67-year-old man was standing on East 101 Street and Avenue J. He was bushwhacked from behind by the suspect who wailed on his face with fists and kicks and then snatched his possessions.

The victim’s stuff was recovered. But the ruffian remains outstanding.
