⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Lower East Side: MMA Brawler Busted Inflicting Licking On Woman
A PROFESSIONAL PUGILIST was dinged for unleashing a hurt on a woman.
The 29-year-old MMA lightweight fighter was cuffed after attacking a 22-year-old woman early morning on Sept. 20.
The suspect was outside a building on Madison Street at around 6 a.m. where he allegedly punished the woman — causing her face to be swollen and bruised.
Officers arrived after someone called 911. They took the accused into custody.
He was charged with assault, criminal mischief and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
It appears the fighter and the woman he ragdolled knew each other.
The perp stands 5-foot-9, 157 pounds and earned an 11-6 record in his professional contests, according to his online profile.
⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Port Richmond: Road Terrorizer With 30 Suspensions Caught After Sideswiping Cop
HE SHOULDN’T HAVE been driving a bumper car let alone navigating the road.
The 29-year-old perp had racked up 30 suspensions (Is that even possible?), 24 scoffs, and 11 times he was AWOL when he was mandated to answer said scoffs, according to the criminal complaint.
While driving (very, very illegally) in a black Acura TLX on the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway and the Bayonne Bridge in the middle of the night on July 19, he piqued the interest of a squad car that had been parked.
That cop initiated the lights and sirens.
The suspect didn’t stop. He drove his Acura into the oncoming cruiser and grinded against it and took out its rear view mirror.
And after blowing several red lights in an ensuing chase — suspect was soon nailed and hit with a slew of charges including aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, obstruction, assault, and traffic device violation.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Brighton Beach: Basement Intruding Bilker Clobbers Elder
A GRANDPA DISCOVERED he was being ripped off and tried to stop the man.
And he paid a tough price for playing hero.
It was around 1:45 a.m. on Aug. 1, when the 39-year-old rover allegedly snuck into the basement of a home on Brighton 5th Street to score some booty.
If he thought the old timer who lived there was limited in his faculties — he was dead wrong.
Because the 86-year-old resident didn’t just discover the thief in his basement, but he tried to stop him.
That inspired the goon to belt the senior wham in the chest, sending him down for the count.
But by then, cops were en route and stopped the elder beater and reeled him in.
He was charged with burglary, assault, attempted assault, and harassment.
⬛ QUEENS
▀ St. Albans: ‘Hungry’ Buffet Gorger Wields Glass Bottle At Manager Shrieking ‘I’m Going To Hit You!’
HE THOUGHT HE could chow down por gratis.
A grubber, 34, was pinched trying to snarf down a full plate of Jamaican fare and a bottled drink without paying a dime.
The meal stealer stepped into Jamaica Breeze Restaurant located on Linden Boulevard at around 7:35 p.m. on Aug. 28, according to the criminal complaint.
The perp was clad in a blue jeans, a white shirt, blue sneakers and he loaded up a plate with heaps of food from the buffet.
He also secured a tasty bottled beverage to wash it all down.
However, he skipped the point of sale.
And that prompted the manager to inquire with the food fleecer about paying what he owed.
‘I had no money. I was going to borrow money from the shop keeper.’
The suspect refused.
And he even raised the glass bottle and groused, “I am going to hit you!”
The rattled manager retreated.
The suspect fled and probably thought he got away with the stolen supper.
However, the eatery has these things called cameras.
And they caught the entire incident and the footage led investigators to make him as well.
When they took the man into custody and questioned him — he tried to explain how he was gonna ask for an IOU.
“I was hungry,” he told them, the papers say. “I had no money. I was going to borrow money from the shop keeper.”
As far as the glass bottle threat against the manager, he claimed it was an act of self-defense.
“When she came at [me] — I raised my hand.”
The man was taken down for both failure to pay based on steal (dine-and-dash), robbery, and menacing with a weapon.
⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Rikers Island: Inmate Headlocked Shrink And Cracked Her Several Punches
THE COUNSELING WASN’T working.
An unhinged inmate serving time at Rikers Island unloaded on her therapist.
The jailbird was inside the prison when she was scheduled to share her feelings for a midday session on July 23, the criminal complaint reads.
But when the inmate met with the counselor, she went mental and grabbed the woman by her head and put her in a headlock.
She then slugged her several times to the face.
The beatdown also caused the psych expert’s eyeglasses to fracture.
It was another blemish in the woman’s rap sheet. That’s because she landed at Rikers for attacking another care provider in another facility months prior in April.
The suspect added to her caseload to include assault (injure care provider), obstructing governmental administration, criminal mischief, and harassment.
