⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ East Village: Foul-Mouthed Goon Bricked Citi Bike Rider After Barking ‘Get Out Of My Face!’
A HOMOPHOBE LAUNCHED a verbal assault followed by a brick salvo against cyclist.
The 55-year-old man had hired a Citi Bike from a station located on East 2nd Street off Bowery at around 6 p.m. on May 17.
As he was beginning to wheel out, he was intersected by a rogue.
Without provocation, the bombastic brute slurred, “Faggot!”
He then screamed, “Whore!” and “Bitch!”
The perp then blabbed, “Get out of my face!”
It was after all the shit-talking that the mouth breather snapped and picked up a brick.
'Bitch… Get out of my face!’
Authorities say he took it and launched it at the biker.
The toss struck the back of the man’s right knee and sent him to eat asphalt.
He took off. But cops tracked him down and by the next day he was nabbed.
The suspect was then booked on assault as a hate crime, and criminal possession of a weapon (for beaming the brick)
⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Mott Haven: Dog Killer Gets Crime Bite
A GHOUL WAS going about his living days with a dead dog. And forcing 10 others to suffer.
On the night of June 8, a concerned someone dialed 911 to report the deplorable living conditions of the creatures sardined in the resident’s East 138th Street apartment.
Upon arrival, officers discovered the door ajar.
They stepped into a horror show. The dogs were all malnourished and neglected.
There was also one dog that had died. (It’s unclear for how long).
Animal Control members took the mistreated animals away to mend them.
The suspect was taken away and hit with torture and neglect of an impounded animal.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Crown Heights: Rock Tossing Bigot Belted ‘I Will Kill All Jews!’
HE’S LOUD AND proud of being an antisemite.
Minutes before midnight on May 10, a troublemaker was doing his worst.
A motorist claims he was driving on this night when he encountered the nutjob starting some mess around Eastern Parkway and Albany Avenue.
The perp, 36, allegedly lobbed a large rock at the man’s car.
He told cops later that the boulder was tossed into his lane and he had not time to weave around it.
The car suffered serious damage to the underside of the car.
His alleged attacker blabbed, “I hate jews!”
The same instigator allegedly disparaged another man the same day.
This time the punk was witnessed clutching a metal object when he fired another rock at the man and then hollered, “I will kill all jews.”
Both hate incidents were investigated and the next day the suspect was busted.
He was slapped with menacing (with a weapon/hate crime), criminal mischief (damage property/hate crime), aggravated harassment (based on race or religion), and weapon possession.
⬛ QUEENS
▀ Flushing: Weed Slinger’s Stash House Raided
THE GARAGE MIGHT as well have been doubling as a greenhouse.
Cops showed up to a Clintonville Street home where they say a 27-year-old man was storing a substantial amount of indo.
The warrant was executed on the afternoon of May 26 and they quickly hoisted various vacuum-sealed bags of weed as well as e-cigarettes stored in black plastic buns.
They marched out of the home with the marijuana.
And they also took into custody the supposed proprietor where hew as tagged for criminal possession (more than 10 pounds).
