⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Midtown: Prick Pinched For Upskirting Teen In Subway
RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC was prime pickings for a goon who sought to cop a sneak peek under a girl’s skirt.
The 31-year-old Bronx mope was picked up after he was spotted inside the central 4/5/6 train hub on East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue (specifically the southbound platform) at around 5:30 p.m. on July 9.
The suspect was seen plotting his cell phone just so it was capturing a 19-year-old’s lady bits.
The officers interrupted the privacy invasion and then rushed the perpy perv, cuffed him and confiscated his phone as evidence.
Once in custody the suspect was formally hit with unlawful surveillance (under clothing).
⬛ THE BRONX
▀ South Bronx: Subway Vape Puffer Busted With Mace And Blade
HER SMOKING COST her.
Had she just held off and reached above ground — maybe she would have been able to waltz around town with the weapon and mace.
But the craving was too much.
The 48-year-old straphanger decided it was prudent to get her vape on during the early afternoon of June 30.
She was seen puffing her e-pipe in the subway system and then officers intervened on the intersection of 3rd Avenue and East 149th Street.
They searched her person and found the woman in possession of a mace canister and a silver fixed blade knife tucked in her purse.
She was taken away and nailed for criminal possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Ocean Hill: Hustler Busted For Pushing Dice Games
THE BONES WERE rolling and the players were taking baths with the losses.
Cops showed up to quit the gambling going on outside Fulton Street and Marconi Place in the wee hours of June 11, the criminal complaint states.
The 51-year-old proprietor acting as the house was allegedly taking suckers for their ends left and right during a series of street craps.
When officers arrived they found the rogue ringleader and took down for promoting gambling and weapons possession.
⬛ QUEENS
▀ Long Island City/Astoria: ‘Just Let It Happen!’: Invader Growls At Woman Hulking Inside Her Apartment, Menaces And Swipes Security Officer’s Radio
A SEX PEST went batshit in the middle of the night — trying to have his way over a woman and then late threatening to chop down the building’s security detail.
The 37-year-old unsavory slithered his way inside a building at around 2 a.m. on June 14, according to the criminal complaint.
The suspect initially approached a woman resident by pressing his meek mitts on her buttocks and then grinding his appendage against them.
Aghast at the molestor’s brazen attack — she sought refuge in her apartment and crawled into bed.
‘I am going to cut you in half.’
Only the craven lust machine followed her and quickly burst into the bedroom.
He then allegedly crawled into the bed next to the terrified woman and tried to rip off her pants without her okay.
“I am stronger than you,” he chest-thumped. “Just let this happen.
“It is going to be worth it.”
When his rapey chatter failed, the sadistic punk allegedly pitstopped on his way out to loot a security guard’s radio.
CCTV verified the perp snatched the device at around 3 a.m. that same day.
‘I am stronger than you. Just let this happen. It is going to be worth it.’
What’s more, the same attacker somehow returned to make more trouble at the building just around noon that same day.
He then approached the concierge working the day shift and spit, “I am going to cut you in half.”
Cops caught up to the groping ganker and found the radio in his possession.
The suspect was formally brought up on forcible touching, sex abuse, petit larceny, menacing, and criminal possession of stolen property.
⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Old Town: Masturbator Smothers Seed On Woman’s Front Door
HE CAN’T CONTROL himself. Or keep his pants on.
A 68-year-old perv was picked up for showing up for the second time in the last six months to put on a solo stroking show before a 28-year-old woman at her home.
Cops say the sicko was busted (again) for returning to her home on Kramer Street and Mallory Avenue back on March 30 where he showed off his manhood and committed a lewd act, the crimainal complaint states.
That included rubbing himself down there in and “upward and downward motion” and then ejaculating on the poor woman’s door and proceeding to smear his seed all over it and the door knob.
It was his repeat offense. That’s because the same senior had been front and center in front of the young woman’s home back on Nov. 2 of last year where the stroker was pinched for the same masturbatory malfeasance.
And he also took his lust on the road.
For the same perp was captured on the evening of April 26. In this incident the suspect readied himself on a subway platform in Manhattan’s Bryant Park station and then flashed a 23-year-old victim.
He was popped for public lewdness and exposure of a person for that crime.
The most recent act before the same Staten Island woman adds to his 20 priors — many busts for public lewdness and forcible touching) that date all the back to 1983. (The first arrest was for weapon possession.)
