The Blotter.* A roundup of happenings in Gotham’s mean streets (and from time to time the tri-state region). Each item provides a staticky glimpse into the sleepless city’s peripheral misdemeanors, felonies, and misadventures.

⬛ MANHATTAN

Chelsea: ‘I’m Not Gay’: Straphanger Punches Out Man He Claims Made Sexual Advances

PARANOIA MAY HAVE gotten the better of him. Maybe it was the dope.

A 35-year-old man vowed that he was simply minding his own business waiting on the subway train platform (where the C, E, and L trains arrive and depart) located on 8th Avenue and West 14th Street back at around 5 a.m. on Nov. 27.

Somehow, his Ps and Qs were tainted by a “Mexican guy” that he suggested was coming onto him, according to the criminal complaint.

The two first quarreled. Then the affronted man allegedly punched the other accused seducer in the face. After landing the shot, the suspect tried sprinting away but officers nabbed him above ground at the corner.

Quizzed about his fighting motives, the accused allegedly told them that he had cause.

He told them, “I hit him because he was making advances on me and I'm not gay.”

He was summarily hauled away and charged with hate crime and assault with injury.

⬛ THE BRONX

Olinville: Rager Caught Spewing ‘I Will Murder You!’ For Entering Room

HE COVETS HIS privacy.

A 63-year-old goon lost his wits when a man entered his personal space.

So touchy about anyone stepping foot into his room that he had a cow when one guy tried him and entered his quarters on Bronx Boulevard off East 224th Street back on the morning of Dec. 7.

The accused first engaged in a war of words.

Things escalated between the two, with the suspect taking a swing and clocking the victim who he accused of trespassing.

As he allegedly pinned him to the ground, authorities say he warned the man his room was off-limits.

He growled, “Don’t go in my room or I put this on my dead father — I will murder you.”

Cops arrived and found the victim suffering from a hurt left leg and left cheek.

They took the madman into custody.

He was slapped with assault, menacing, and harassment.

⬛ BROOKLYN

East Flatbush: Naked Madman Walloped And Whacked Rival With Cane, Then Threw Shoe

A BARENAKED BASTARD shot out of a hallway inside of a Brooklyn building to level a relentless and ever so twisted beatdown.

According to CCTV the victim was inside of a building at around 6 p.m. on Nov. 15 when they suffered a flurry of punches by the birthday-suited psycho.

Four days later at 10 a.m., the same clothes-less man allegedly returned for more; beaming the victim with a shoe.

Then he allegedly took hold of a cane and lashed his victim with a series of blows.

The wounded victim then tried to call for help.

But when they pulled out their phone and put it to their ear the suspect took umbrage, allegedly yanking it from them and then again pushed and punched them some more.

The attacks came despite the man being barred by a judge from contact of the victim (an order of protection that was intact through May 29 of this year.

The perp was finally reeled in on Dec. 1 (hopefully he wore more than a fig leaf) where he was brought up on violating an order of protection, lewdness, exposure of a person, assault, and harassment.

⬛ QUEENS

Far Rockaway: Creep Copped Feel Of Woman Outside Eatery Then Pleasured Himself

A PERVERT THOUGHT there was more on the Chinese food joint’s menu beyond fried rice.

Minutes before 8 p.m. on Nov. 26, the 32-year-old was allegedly leering outside of the Magic Wok located on Beach Channel Drive and Mott Avenue. 

A woman apparently struck his interest and the mope decided to grab her buttocks. The startled woman lunged away. 

And to her horror she couldn’t unsee the lustful lout start to get busy with himself —  placing his hand inside his pants and proceed to “rub his penis in an up and down motion,” court papers say. 

Authorities intervened and brought the legal smackdown in the form of forcible touching, sex abuse, public lewdness, and harassment.

⬛ STATEN ISLAND

▀ Mid Island: Blitzed Numskull Driving 15 MPH On Expressway Tells Cop ‘I Just Had One Beer!’

BEER MUST MAKE him drive like a catatonic on a camel.

A 46-year-old was allegedly lightfooting it on the Staten Island Expressway back at around 1 a.m. on Dec. 2.

Authorities say the suspect was puttering behind the wheel of a black 2024 Lincoln Navigator at around 10 MPH to 15 MPH — where the speed limit is 50 MPH.

Cops affected a traffic stop. They had him engage in a sobriety test and questioned the soused driver whose eyes were “watery” and “bloodshot” as he couldn’t keep his balance and instead “swayed”, the complaint states.

“I had just one beer,” the man allegedly slurred to officers, the booze wafting off his breath.

A Breathylyzer test confirmed that the man’s alcohol level was .118, far over the Empire State’s .08 legal limit.

He was charged with DWI, operate motor vehicle while impaired, moved [into a] lane unsafely, and impeding traffic.

THINK AMERICAN BEAUTY meets grim Gotham. A short moment where caution tape (could it be crime scene tape??? Who knows!) is scene dancing during a gusty sundown.
