A BELLIGERENT BIGOT wielding a glass bottle challenged two men innocently relaxing at Union Square Park. 

The 35-year-old stepped to the two men seated on a bench off Park Avenue South back on the evening of April 5. 

Authorities say the bigmouthed perp spit vile words about gays while menacing them with the bottle. 

The goon then launched at one of the men, 22, and struck him with punches, yanked his hair, and tackled him to the ground where he dragged him like captured game. 

When officers arrived, the suspect was in the wind. 

The victim was treated for cuts and bruises, but was otherwise OK. 

It wasn’t until May 14, when investigators tracked down the punk and charged him with menacing with a weapon and assault (hate crime).

AN ORNERY PLUNDERER stormed into a home, waving a knife and vowing to terminate the tenant. 

It was around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, when the 28-year-old unwanted rogue appeared at the rear of the home and stirred the woman awake by “banging” on her backdoor. 

Not waiting to be let in, the perp allegedly did “kick open” the door (wrecking the lock mechanism). 

He then charged toward the helpless woman in the home and hit her with dire threats. 

“I’m gonna come back and shoot you,” he hurled, adding, “I want money.”

The brash door-kicker fled. 

Investigators caught up to him and on April 29, they brought him up on a series of charges including burglary (with a dangerous instrument), trespass, menacing, and weapons possession.

HE TERRORIZED HER home and then claimed someone else usurped his home. 

A 32-year-old madman first started hammering his fist on the woman’s front door on Miller Avenue back in the middle of the night on April 27. 

The man, according to the criminal complaint, demanded the woman, “Let me in!”

His knocking was so intense that he forced the timber off its hinges. 

And once he gained entry he berated the freaked out resident, “Why didn’t you open the door? Didn’t you hear me?”

Cops arrived and a detective engaged the suspect in conversation. 

But the disturbed crook claimed he was the one in some kind of “Trading Places” situation where his life and his material possessions were uprooted and ripped away from him. 

“They stole my watch and they broke in my house,” he wailed. 

“That’s my fucking house!”

Asked to lower his tone, the accused refused. 

“Don’t tell me to stop shouting,” he yelled. “I am going shoot, shoot.’ 

The talk ended and cops moved in to bring the delirious deviant into custody. He allegedly ran off and then put up resistance.

Once under he was slapped with several charges including burglary, criminal trespass, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest.

AN OBSESSED REJECT can’t seem to take a hint and quit bothering a former fling. 

The 25-year-old was formally barred by a judge on April 14 from being near his ex-girlfriend. 

And yet in the waning hours of April 29 while she was enjoying a night at Sayra’s Wine Bar on Rockaway Beach Boulevard — there the brute appeared. 

He rolled up to the establishment his white Nissan Pathfinder and was witnessed “screaming at her and honking his horn,” according to the criminal complaint. 

The move came after the same psycho allegedly sent the woman 47 text messages. 

One of them featured a video clip of the pair “engaging in sexual intercourse.”

The footage was recorded without the woman’s consent — meaning the desperate bleeding heart was capturing their lovemaking in secret. 

A judge swung his gavel to prevent the pervy perp from having any contact with his ex. 

And he allegedly shirked it and that earned him a criminal contempt charge. 

That paired well like toilet wine with unlawful surveillance for the sex video he allegedly secretly recorded and then sent to his ex, and aggravated harassment for the pseudo stalking antics.

A HEROIN HOODLUM got tagged for going on a five-finger shopping spree scooping up all sorts of items from skivvies to heartburn pills, and even a Manscaped trimmer. 

The suspect with the sack of heroin in his pockets allegedly marched into a Target department store at around 4:30 p.m. on Veterans Road West. 

It was there that authorities say the 40-year-old accused started filling a cart with all sorts of goodies. 

He appropriately took five from the store shelves Pair Of Thieves sicks, two Pair of Thieves underwear, a Jansport backpack, two Sensodyne toothpastes tubes, three boxes of Nexum 24 heartburn pills, and a Manscape buzzer. 

He then sauntered out of the store with all the items and forgot about the detail of paying for all of the hot stuff. 

The suspect didn’t get too far. 

About an hour later cops pinpointed the perp a short distance away inside a parking lot on Tyrellan Avenue. 

When searched, the officers found a glassine sleeve filled with heroin. 

The man was taken away and charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, petit larceny, and criminal possession of stolen property.

SOMEBODY AT POLICE HQ forgot to renew a critical contract.

The NYPD was in overdrive this week to retroactively extend a drug screening contract for its nearly 35,000 workforce.

The department inked a contract (worth $780,000 over the next two years) with the current vendor Psychemedics Corporation, a Dallas, Texas based company, to ensure continuity of service to randomly test the rank and file and brass.

Psychemedics promote themselves as the gold standard in hair analysis drug screening.

The contract officially ended in April, 2025, leaving the NYPD in the lurch.

The NYC Charter dictates that all public contracts are to be subject to the competitive public bidding process unless the specified service cannot be fulfilled by anyone other than a specialty provider.

"There is not enough time to get a new contractor in place without a gap in services," reads the NYPD's public notice of the contact extension.

"The NYPD has determined that the most suitable course of action is to pursue a negotiated acquisition extension for a two year period with the current vendor, Psychemedics Corporation.

It continues: “This is a negotiated acquisition extension with the incumbent contractor to maintain continuity of critical services for a minimum amount of time."  

Pyschemedics is to continue providing drug screening through hair analysis and expert witness services to testify on the results when called upon.

All members of the NYPD's 34,000 unformed members and nearly 16,000 civilian employees as well as potential hires are subject to random drug screening.

Hair analysis is far more accurate than urine testing, which can detect drug use in the past two or three days while testing hair is tamper proof and can detect drug use as far back as 90 days, according to the Psychemedics corporation website.

A positive result can lead to internal disciplinary charges and a potential departmental trial. A disciplinary recommendation is made by a departmental trial judge which can range from a loss of vacation days to potential dismissal. The final decision on an foul member’s punishment is made by the NYPD Commissioner.

It is not clear how many positive results for drugs are found annually among NYPD personnel.
