He should have taken the ticket.

For 10 months an Audi driver must have thought he had scored a pass from the road gods.

Not so.

The 29-year-old was initially pulled over on 9th Avenue near West 18th Street back on the morning of Jan. 22. Cops say it was a run-of-the-mill infraction.

But the driver of the 2023 Audi wasn’t chancing it that day.

While the officer was writing him up and then ordering to exit the ride — the suspect hit the gas, blew a red light and almost struck three people in a short pursuit.

The cops pulled off the effort.

And while months past by, Lady Justice didn’t forget.

For the man’s license plate was documented and had been circulating in a police bulletin. So when cops encountered the same perp motoring around Manhattan on Oct. 30 — they performed another traffic stop.

But this time, he was taken into custody for the dangerous disappearing act in January.

He’s now defending himself against fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, reckless driving, and reckless endangerment.

MAYBE SHE WAS inspired by Michael Meyers.

A 62-year-old woman lost her cool on Halloween — drawing and then repeatedly swinging a machete to oust a man out of her domicile.

The suspect allegedly exploded at around 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 31, inside of a home located on (where else?!) Valentine Avenue near East 202st Street.

As she did, the woman was allegedly clenching a machete and started swinging it at the rival — blurting out, “Get the fuck out of the apartment or I’m going to kill you!”

The threat clearly rattled the man, who obeyed and skipped out to ring for help.

Responding cops took the crazed woman into custody.

She was nailed with menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, and harassment. the fuck out of the apartment or I’m going to kill you!’ -machete-

AN INSULTED MAN retaliated with lethal force — striking three innocents — after he freely admitted he was spit on.

The 52-year-old man was knocking heads with two teens that had been tussling with his stepdaughter.

As tempers flared some time at around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 24, cops say he entered his running SUV that had stopped illegally in front of Woodhull Medical Center on Flushing Avenue and Broadway back.

The suspect then peeled off in a grey 2011 Chevrolet Equinox and with a drawn revolver — squeezed off three wayward rounds.

The bullets missed the two teens he had been in the tiff.

Instead, a 33-year-old who was waiting for a bus was floored with a hip shot, and a young 16-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy suffered shots to their right feet, according to the criminal complaint.

The suspect allegedly had been trying to defend his stepdaughter who had sought his presence after being challenged to an after school fight.

“The kids were very threatening,” he told cops in the wake of firing a trio of aimless rounds. “One of the kids stepped into the street and spit at me — so I shot twice.”

Five days later, cops caught up to the suspect (an ex-con) and attempted to bring him into custody.

He allegedly had been ignoring commands to show his hands; instead “reaching toward [his] right leg,” according to the complaint. Authorities also suggest the accused flailed his arms and tensed his body to avoid being cuffed.

A search of the man determined he had a .38 caliber Ruger revolver that had five rounds in the cylinder.

The suspect was forbidden from possessing a gun or ammo after he was convicted of a weapons rap back in 2021.

He was booked and charged with a lengthy list of crimes including attempted murder, menacing, assault, reckless endangerment, obstructing governmental administration, and resisting arrest.

Did you know some credit cards can actually help you get out of debt faster? Yes, it sounds crazy. But it’s true.

The secret: Find a card with a “0% intro APR" period for balance transfers or purchases. This could help you fund a large purchase or transfer your debt balance and pay it down as much as possible during the intro period. No interest means you could pay off the debt faster.

A DOUBLE-FISTING DEVIANT was caught after allegedly vowing to bash a liquor store clerk with one of the two chilled wine bottles she filched from the fridge.

For 15 minutes on Oct. 23, the 34-year-old lady larcenist was allegedly tantruming inside of Henry’s Wines & Liquors on Sutphin Boulevard, according to the criminal complaint.

“Give me a bottle or a drink or I'll steal it in front of your face,” the suspect allegedly seethed.

The clerk didn’t comply.

So she proceeded to beeline to the crisper to remove two bottles of wine.

And then she barked again, “If you touch me, I’ll break the bottle on your head!”

The clerk claims the woman then placed both wine bottles “above her shoulders” and then started “swinging” the bottles in a “striking motion” as she strutted out the door.

The owner of the shop then made a last dash to retrieve the stolen merch and the vino snatcher became beligerant and “repeatedly cursed and yelled,” the papers say.

The accused never had the chance to indulge in sipping from the bottles or check noses because police officers were on-scene to nab her.

It’s likely all Welch’s grape juice for a spell.

Authorities brought robbery (with a dangerous instrument), menacing, possession of a weapon with intent to use, and criminal possession of stolen property.

HE DID WHAT for a measly $30?

A pathetic soul allegedly targeted a wheelchair-bound woman for a pittance takeaway, claiming poverty.

The 43-year-old craven crook slithered through the victim’s rear kitchen window of the home on Avenue B near Bennett Street back at around 8:15 p.m. on Oct. 24, the criminal complaint states.

He allegedly found the wheelchair-bound woman and she tried to “wheel herself away from the kitchen towards the front door”, the papers say.

Seeing this, the suspect allegedly grabbed hold of her handles of the chair “preventing [her] from leaving the kitchen.”

It’s here where the mouth breather told his mark, “I need money!”

He allegedly picked the woman’s pocket and grabbed hold of $30.

The law was quick to intercept him.

He was subsequently dinged with robbery, burglary (of a dwelling), grand larceny, unlawful imprisonment, and criminal possession of stolen property.

ALL THE TRAFFIC cop could do was throw his arms up in consternation.

Perhaps feeling the pangs of a little egg on the face. Did he help cause this screwup?

Moments before, a driver had their dashcam rolling while waiting at a light at an East Harlem intersection back on Nov. 25.

The traffic cop in the neon green vest appears to be directing cars — actually keeping them at bay in order to prioritize the passage of two fast-approaching NYPD SUV cruisers.

Only, instead of rounding the intersection — they collide into each other at high speeds.

The traffic cop’s body language spells awkward. He doesn’t bother checking on the cops. At least not for a long 30-plus seconds.

Rather, he just sort of mosies to the other side of the street as a dejected clown might do after the circus ditched to the next town without him.

Meanwhile, city denizens (unfazed by the crash) don’t bother wondering what happened. Aside from the casual cranes of their necks — they have places to be.
