A ZERO CAME up with zip after attempting to mug a granny in broad daylight. 

The 33-year-old allegedly snuck up on an 87-year-old woman walking along 8th Avenue near West 58th Street back at around 1:30 p.m. on April 4. 

The perp wrestled the purse from the frail woman and then slugged her in the face before dragging her along the sidewalk. 

Out of nowhere a hero swooped in and landed a series of counterpunches to ward off the unsavory. 

He landed several of the punches to suspect’s mug and sent him scurrying. 

Because of his intervention, the elder woman was able to retain her purse. 

Though she did suffered various head and hand wounds. 

Two days later, the filching failure was caught after cops recognized him from CCTV footage. 

He was taken into custody on the corner of 8th Avenue near West 59th Street.

A judge ordered him held on $100,000 bail at his April 7 arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court where he pleaded not guilty to robbery (using a dangerous instrument), assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.

TWO BROTHERS AND their flunky pals trounced two innocents. 

The kin, ages 22 and 28, were mouthing off with two men inside an apartment complex on Grand Concourse near Walton Avenue during the small hours of Jan. 29. 

They were backed up by two others. 

The trading of barbs soon escalated to fisticuffs. 

The four-deep toughs pummeled the pair several times, tenderizing their faces. 

At one point while rolling on the ground in pain, the younger brother pointed a red knife and growled, “If you move, I am going to stab you.”

The victims claimed that they suffered shiners and gashes to their scalps from the melee. 

Authorities lassoed the brothers, but their two crime partners remain unaccounted for. 

Each was brought up on menacing, assault, weapons possession, and harassment.

SOME UNFORTUNATE BROOKLYNITES were feted to a pantsless creep pleasuring himself outside their homes. 

The 43-year-old fapper was caught getting his rocks off next to a tree outside an apartment complex located on 4th Avenue and 83rd Street. 

Complaints rolled into the 68th Precinct about the lecher on the sidewalk fiddling with his appendage in a “back and forth motion”, according to the criminal complaint. 

And when the scumbag was repeatedly told to quit the onanist act — he blew them off and kept joysticking. 

He was ultimately met by police officers who had him pull up his trousers.  

Authorities leveled public lewdness and exposure of a person charges against him.

HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER. 

A 69-year-old unwise man was nabbed again. This time he was caught lighting up his glass pipe… in front of a cop. 

He was collared at around 12:45 a.m. on March 28 at the corner of 21st Street and and 41st Avenue. 

He allegedly packed his glass pipe with some blow. After lighting the bowl, he took a hit.
The fix was in direct sight of a police officer who marched toward the smoker. 

He allegedly saw the law coming his way and he tossed the pipe to the ground — causing it to shatter.

But he forgot to make disappear his two other glass pipes and with cocaine at the ready in them that the cop pulled from his jacket pocket.

The senior was taken away on a possession charge. 

His capture comes while he’s defending himself against two other open cases in Queens Criminal Court. 

One case stems from a Jan. 26 arrest in housing in which he was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance (crack) and tampering with physical evidence, (trying to destroy the drugs as evidence). 

The second arrest took place in transit on Feb. 28 where he was charged with weapons and drug possession.

A MOTORIST’S DARE when he and his pal were pulled over for driving around without a left rearview mirror backfired. 

When he was asked by police officers to search the ride, the driver allegedly gave the greenlight. And then he was quickly down in the dumps for dope raps. 

The 36-year-old driver of a white 2025 white Hyundai Elantra along with his 57-year-old sidekick riding shotgun, were driving on Holland Avenue near Richmond Terrace back on the night of March 7. 

A detail affected a traffic stop because the car lacked a left rearview mirror, the criminal complaint states. 

Maybe it was an attempt at reverse psychology to exude excessive confidence about the rest of the car, but when he was asked if the officers could give a looksee, he allegedly replied, “You can search the car.”

And they did just that. 

The officers soon mounted a collection of narcotics. 

The total haul from the Elantra’s center console featured four vials of coke, two tubes (one plastic and another silver) of cocaine, and a seven glassine sleeves of heroin tucked in the car’s sun visor. They also found $1,600 in his left pants pocket.  

His front passenger was also found to be carrying in none other than his underwear 25 vials of coke and nine twists filled with crack. 

Soon afterward, the cops had enough probable cause to search the driver’s home on Richmond Avenue. 

It was there that the authorities bagged more dope including two Ziploc bags of crack. 

Both were formally charged with several drug possession and also an equipment violation for the inadequate mirror.

A teenage gunslinger was caged for blasting off twice in the Bronx.

One of the incidents the suspect rained down lead on a street by firing 18 bullets.

Miraculously he missed his target.

Jasaiah Edwards, 18, was nabbed on April 27 inside a building on Crotona Avenue building.

Aresting cops found him packing a Sig-Sauer 9-mm pistol.

Edwards was already wanted for a shoot 'em up days in the in Melrose nabe before at around 11:45 p.m. on April 15.

He allegedly unloaded 18 shots at a rival on the corner of Findlay Avenue and East 164th Street.

One bullet pierced a building window and another shattered the driver side window of a parked car. But no one was struck by gunfire.

Edwards was also tasked in connection with a second shooting in Morris Heights back on March 27.

That incident occurred outside 1975 Davidson Avenue — two miles away from the previous shooting. 

In that case, cops on patrol nearby at 8:45 p.m. were within earshot of the gun crackle and rushed to the scene. Upon arrival they found two spent shell casings but no property damage and no wounded persons.

The shooter was gone.

It's not clear who he was targeting in either incident.

Authorities pinned both incidents on Edwards.

The SigSauer recovered upon his arrest is awaiting ballistics tests to determine if it is the same piece used in both shootings.

Edwards is awaiting arraignment at Bronx Criminal Court facing charges of attempted murder, reckless engagement and weapons possession.

As of April 26, 2026, the 48 Precinct saw nine persons shot so far this year which happens to be the same number of shot victims during the same period last year, NYPD statistics reveal.
