⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Gramercy Park: TKTKTKGramercy Park: Metal Bat Swinging Brutes Sought For Tuning Up Man

TWO SCOUNDRELS INFLICTED a vicious assault against a man.
The pair (one of them clad in an Amazon Prime courier vest) were outside Park Avenue South and East 23rd Street minutes before noon on April 30.
The duo allegedly started scrapping with a 48-year-old man.
They kicked him and as he fell to the ground the partner in the beatdown all of a sudden was clutching a metal bat. And he used it to wail on the man’s head several times.
They then left the battered man to suffer in the street.
He was whisked away by medics to Bellevue where he was stabilized.
The perps scurried off on East 23rd Street on foot.
But on May 23, cops lassoed both.
They are Jesus Gallardo, 38, and Iverson Diaz, 19.
Each is facing assault raps.

THEIR PARTING WASN’T mutual.
A scorned goon decided it was time for some payback.
And so he allegedly took his grievances directly to his ex-girlfriend’s home.
The 43-year-old allegedly showed up unannounced after midnight on March 25 at her Richman Plaza apartment.
There, the man she allegedly has known for 30 years went ballistic — banging on the woman’s front door with a fury.
The rattled woman confirmed it was the suspect by peering through her peephole.
‘Yeah bitch, you think you've got all this sense, you got me locked me up, this don't work like that,” he moaned. “I'm gonna kill you, bitch.’
When the maniac demanded entry and was denied he didn’t take being left in the cold all too well.
“Open the door, I just want to talk,” the desperate deviant told her.
When that failed, his tone turned ever so salty.
“You’re lucky you’re not opening the door because I have [a] girls waiting to fuck you up.”
He further warned the woman that even if she were to best prize fighter new romance in a throwdown — he would jump in and finish her off.
“If things don’t go right and you beat her — I’m gonna jump in.”
The vociferous perp ultimately went on his way.
He would lay low for a few days until the night of April 3.
‘You’re lucky you’re not opening the door because I have [a] girls waiting to fuck you up. If things don’t go right and you beat her — I’m gonna jump in.’
The suspect rang his ex “multiple times” and left a series of messages.
And his incessant calls came after the accused sent out a secret pic of the woman’s face engaging in fellatio with him.
The recipients who received the intimate image included her current boyfriend and her dad.
The woman claimed later she had no idea the photo existed or gave permission for him to capture it.
His messages were especially unflinching in spirit.
“Yeah bitch, you think you've got all this sense, you got me locked me up, this don't work like that,” he moaned. “I'm gonna kill you, bitch.”
He then proceeded to insult — even desecrate members the woman’s family.
“Fuck you, your mother can suck my dick, your daughter can suck my dick, your brother can get [sic], give their addresses so I can pull up.
“Yeah bitch your nephew died,” he continued. “Yeah you need to die too.”
The ominous tone shift led investigators to take action. And on April 8, the deviant was brought under for aggravated harassment as well as unlawful dissemination or publication of an intimate image.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Crown Heights: Weed Puffing Driver Dinged With Rocks And Molly Sack
A BLOWHARD WITH contraband cargo was busted.
The 38-year-old man was allegedly tooling behind the wheel of a 2021 black Ford Explorer (bearing South Carolina plates) back on the afternoon of March 12.
A cop in an unmarked car must of got a good whiff of whatever cloud trailing behind the ride of the kind buds the driver was hitting because it set off a pursuit.
The driver apparently wasn’t ready to get caught on this day.
He started his grand escape on Midwood Street and Kingston Avenue. The perp allegedly weaved all over city roads and blew through numerous lights, punching at top speeds.
And the effort paid off. The suspect apparently eluded capture that day.
But on April 30,2026 he was formally fitted with bracelets and brought down for holding sacks of MDMA pills as well as three crack rocks.
Authorities hit him with an assortment of charges including drug possession, reckless endangerment, fleeing police in a motor vehicle and a red light violation cherry on top.

⬛ QUEENS
▀ Jamaica: Fib Teller Nabbed For Falsely Blaming Stepsister For Beaming Rock Into His Car Windshield
SHE DIDN’T WRECK his ride.
A potentially delusional man dialed 911 to sic the law on his sibling.
The 47-year-old suspect rang for help at around 10:15 a.m. on May 1.
He claims that the windshield of his car parked at a home on 122nd Avenue off 143rd Street was shattered.
"I called 911,” he told the responding officer according to the criminal complaint. “My stepsister [sic] threw a rock at my windshield."
The cop surveyed the damage to the caller’s car.
It was also clear that the stepsister, if she had committed the car attack, shook a leg and vanished.
Some investigation determined the stepsister was some ways away from the scene of the rock tossing imbroglio.
She was in fact at work on Long Island.
And when presented with the accusation she targeted her stepbrother’s car she dismissed it, explaining how it was all fantasied.
That she was dutifully at work the entire morning.
Indeed, her story checked out.
Cops spoke to her supervisor who verified she had clocked into her work that same day at 6:45 a.m. and hadn’t left the premises until 11:14 a.m., the papers say.
The facts bore out and the finger-pointing stepbrother with a hold in his car window was now dealing with the charge of falsely reporting an emergency.

⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Annadale: Obsessed Goon Calls Sandwich Shop Over 100 Times Warning Worker ‘I Will Make Quick Work Of You!’, Then Breaks Jail Cell Plexiglass
HIS HUBRIS WAS beyond comprehension.
A 56-year-old man found himself in a heap of trouble for his unrelenting pursuit to dog a man for almost an entire month before he was locked up. And even then — he couldn’t cool down.
The perps sent a series of Facebook Messenger missives to another man back on the morning of March 9.
One of them reads, “You better watch it. You are warned.”
That didn’t sit well with the recipient.
Four days later the suspect dialed the man’s sandwich shop workplace located on Annadale Road near Belfield Avenue.
He allegedly yelled over the receiver: “I gotta ask you a question.”
Then he repeated it again. “I gotta ask you a question… You’re a punk. I was the man. You know who the fuck I am.”
The call ended with him allegedly telling the worker, “I will make quick work of you; you were a nobody.”
Click.
But the suspect called the shop a total of 25 times that same day.
At around 4:30 p.m. on March 17, the suspect allegedly showed up at the eatery.
“I came to ask you a fucking question,” he allegedly crowed.
While slamming his hand down on a table, he shrieked, “I drove an hour here!”
Without getting the attention he so hoped for, the suspect sauntered away.
But he allegedly called that same day at around 6 p.m.
Three days passed and at the heart of the lunchtime, the same obsessed suspect called the sandwich shop 22 times.
The relentless effort to inflict fear on the sandwich maker was enough material to bring the suspect into custody.
Once he was quartered in a holding cell inside the 123 Precinct on March 23, authorities say he struck the plexiglass with both hands — causing it to “crack in half,” according to the criminal complaint.
The suspect was brought down for aggravated harassment, harassment, and criminal mischief.
