⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Greenwich Village: Kook Caught Pleasuring Self On Bustling Street
AMONG THE TREASURES that make Bleeker Street — it may be the neighborhood haunts like pizzerias, boutiques, and eateries — there lies the attention grabbers.
And just before midnight on Ovt. 14, denizens and tourists were feted to a self-proclaimed Dr. Feelgood who decided to put on a one hand show for all to see.
Authorities say the 44-year-old was completely naked and stroking himself silly.
This led to hands over eyes and 911 calls that some wished could have had a higher power rain down with a lightning storm right there and then.
They would have to settle with the cops who took the birthday-suited horndog and bagged him for public lewdness, harassment, and very poor choices (the latter is not a crime, but maybe it should be!)
⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Grand Concourse: NYPD Sergeant Caught Spreading Around Female Subordinate Cop’s Nudes, Using Computer To Track Her
A SENIOR COP’S alleged obsession with a subordinate led to him sharing nudes of her and tapping the privileged computer to keep tabs of her real-time whereabouts.
The 37-year-old white shirt was brought up on charges of computer trespass, unauthorized use of a computer, and unlawful dissemination of an intimate image.
The sergeant detailed to the 41st Precinct was supposedly so infatuated with the rank-and-file uniformed cop that between August 2024 and July 2025 — he was said to have used his access to the NYPD computer to track the woman’s movements tapping license plate reader records.
What’s more, the senior officer also apparently spread intimate pics of the woman around without her permission.
Since the accusations were raised, the sergeant was transferred to the Bronx Narcotics Unit.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Bedford-Stuyvesant: Scorned Sicko Tweets Sex Videos
THE SEX WAS clearly regrettable. But also secretly recorded.
A woman’s romps with a 32-year-old man were given the public squeeze after being uploaded onto Twitter/X.
The perp allegedly posted at least two of their lovemaking on his social media account back on July 1, 2024.
The videos were recorded and splashed online without the woman’s consent.
The footage featured their sex with the woman’s “intimate parts exposed”, according to the criminal complaint.
This vexed the woman and she alerted the authorities.
But it would be years before the suspect was formally cited for the intentional XXX breach.
He was nailed for public display of sexual material and unlawful publication of an intimate image.
⬛ QUEENS
▀ Jackson Heights: ‘Come Into The Car!’: Fiends Kidnap Man Off Street, Tune Him Up And Fleece Him Dry
FOUR BRUTES PICKED off a man walking on a street to turn a quick buck.
Late morning on April 1, the perps wheeling around in a gray Nissan Sentra (with New Jersey license plates) sidled up to the 36-year-old man walking on 84th Street off 37th Avenue (which happens to be less than a mile from the NYPD’s 115th Precinct).
‘Come into the car because we are headed in the same direction.’
They struck up some chatter and the pedestrian offered where he was walking to.
“Come into the car because we are headed in the same direction,” the suspect riding shotgun told him.
Without his say-so — three of the perps took the man by forced and shoved him into the ride, forcing his face to fit into the cup holder.
They then wailed on him with fists and snatched hold of his wallet.
It contained cash, a PayPal debit card, Chase Bank card, a Doordash Debit card, a Chime debit card, and a Cash App debit card.
At one point the band of thuggish thieves came to a complete stop.
It was then that their prey took advantage of the silence and bellowed for help.
The move prompted his captors to panic and they quickly dumped him out eight miles away on the corner of Sutphin Boulevard and 106th Avenue.
Months passed by but on Oct. 13, cops say they nabbed three of the man’s four kidnappers. One remains unaccounted for.
The captured crooks were all slapped with kidnapping, robbery, assault, and grand larceny raps.
⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Mid Island: Stick Basher Destroys Door, Lamp
A MIDDLE-AGED HOOLIGAN was wrangled after serving out some sticking it to a door and a lamp.
The 50-year-old went berserk on a home located on Harold Street off Bradley Avenue minutes before 10 a.m. on Sept. 21.
The suspect, allegedly gripping a stick (surely not meant to herd sheep) kicked a home’s door and then took several cracks at it with the stick — shattering its glass panels.
He then used the wooden weapon to eliminate a lamp.
The blows caused it to shatter.
It’s unclear what provoked his eruption.
But whatever it was he left the door and lamp in his wake.
Cops took him into custody and he was summarily charged with multiple counts of criminal mischief.
