⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Midtown: Bigot Barked ‘Faggot’ At Straphanger, Slugged Her Face After She Started Recording Him
HATE SPEWED FROM this scumbag who thought he could mouth off and then punch out a woman at Grand Central Station.
The 26-year-old had been walking along the platform of the 7 train at around 6 p.m. on June 2.
A 19-year-old woman stepped off the train and she collided with the hostile.
They started quarreling and the perp then slandered the woman by calling her a “faggot,” according to the criminal complaint.
The insulted woman then trailed her verbal jouster and this incensed the maniac.
He snapped and delivered a combination of punches to the woman’s face.
She crumbled to the ground.
The pugilist fled the transportation hub.
Cops were able to make her attacker with the snippet of footage she captured before she became his punching bag.
Weeks passed by and the suspect was finally brought under and he was nailed for assault at a hate crime causing injury, and aggravated harassment based on race/religion.
⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Shorehaven: Piss Poor Aiming Punk Pops Off
HE COULDN’T HIT pinata even without a blindfold.
A no good sap is facing heavy years for taking target practice in the vicinity of a crowd.
The 21-year-old went ape shit at around 5:30 p.m. on June 10 located on Gildersleeve Avenue.
He was witnessed squeezing off five successive shots towards a crowd.
Fortunately for all of the innocents — the shooter couldn’t hit a lick. And not one of the fired bullets struck anybody.
It remains uncertain what provoked the zero from drawing fire.
The suspect was taken into custody and brought up on attempted murder, reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a loaded weapon, and assault.
Cops are still on the hunt for two men who stole away and are believed to have some skin in the melee.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Crown Heights: New Jersey Man Caught After Going Postal Outside Bodega
A GOON WENT gangster and sprayed a series of wayward bullets in the direction of an Uber driver who had a fare inside.
Minutes after 4 a.m. on July 5, the 18-year-old from West Orange, New Jersey had been raising Cain with four men at a bodega located on Nostrand Avenue and Sterling Place.
The loner ventured into the deli and then when he exited — he came out blazing.
The four men he had words with ducked for cover.
Meanwhile an Uber driver with a fare in the backseat were terrified for their lives when one of the teen’s rounds shattered the front windshield.
Cops arrived on scene and a shootout ensued.
The good guys’ gunfire missed the perp. In fact, one officer’s shot struck a fellow officer in the back (a case that initially was first pegged to the perp’s pistol, but later determined to be friendly fire).
The suspect fled and was later confronted by another unit and they used a Taser to neutralize the gunman.
Cops confiscated the man’s 9mm Luger pistol and a cartridge from his trousers.
The suspect was charged with attempted murder, weapons possession, reckless endangerment, and criminal mischief.
⬛ QUEENS
▀ Astoria: Prick Caught Splashing Gal’s Topless Pic On Instagram
A SLEAZEBAG WRONGED a woman by posting on social media a snap of her in a state of undress.
The 22-year-old allegedly demeaned the woman overnight on July 20 where he uploaded a pic of the woman that exposed her face and her breasts.
The woman was aghast as she hadn’t given the lout permission to put out the pic.
She alerted the authorities and the man with the quick clicking finger was nabbed for unlawful publication of an intimate image and harassment (physical contact).
⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Arlington: Speedster Caught After Wild Police Chase
HE REFUSED TO pull over.
A 21-year-old headstrong dumbbell was behind the wheel of a 2019 white Volkswagen on the night of July 16.
A police unit found the speed freak blazing through the intersection of Harbor Road and
Braband Street; punching the accelerator well beyond the limit.
The cop flicked on the lights and sirens — and even with all the law enforcement razzmatazz then the motorist refused to slow down.
He continued racing around town — blowing through stop signs and veering into oncoming traffic
The suspect was finally reeled in near Continental Place.
He faces a truckload of charges (mostly for being a masterfully shitty driver).
They include unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, obstruction of governmental administration, reckless endangerment, and a slew of traffic infractions including failure to stop at a stop sign, unsafe turn or failure to give appropriate signal, and failure to obey a traffic control device.
⬛ LOCKED UP!
▀ Cat Grim Reaper Sent Away For 2 Years (Bronx, NY)
A CAT SLAYER is getting caged.
David Mosley, the ghoul who posted on social media his unspeakable sacrifice of a cat around Halloween is headed to the pokey.
The 26-year-old Bronx man was sentenced yesterday to two years in prison for the spineless act.
The now cat-killing convict copped a plea deal on Bronx Criminal Court.
The terms involve a single charge of aggravated cruelty to animals on July 10.
He was automatically remanded to Rikers Island in July and will get credit for time served in the local jail system. The plea deal also prohibits him from owning any animals for a decade upon his release.
Mosley had been arrested days after a midnight stunt on Oct. 22, inside his Bedford Park apartment, after he posted a photo of a dead cat soaked in a pool of blood.
Investigators determined the same furry pet was alive 10 days earlier when Mosley posted the sick selfie.
On Oct. 29, cops searched Mosley's apartment on East 198th Street near Valentine Avenue, which was trashed with graffiti and holes in the walls.
On the floor, ASPCA investigators analyzed a dry pool of blood that they confirmed to belong to a cat.
Also, cops evaluated surveillance video inside the building that showed Mosley carrying the cat into his home, alive two days prior.
He initially claimed that he found the cat after it died. He later confessed to investigators that he killed the animal and claimed that he wanted to kill more of a ritual in lieu of Halloween, according to a police source.
Mosley had one prior 2024 arrest in Bedford Stuyvesant for which he was charged with misdemeanor menacing.
"This defendant committed a crime that shocked and outraged the community. For reasons known only to him, he tortured and killed a cat and then posted the disturbing images of the dead animal on social media," said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, announcing the prison sentence. "He has been held accountable for what he did."
