⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Lower Manhattan: Woman Busted Offering Sex To Undercover
THE WOMAN WAS allegedly fronting a cat house.
The post pad on Murray and Church Streets was where a 40-year-old woman allegedly lured a potential john for a trick.
He showed up to her love lair at around 6 p.m. on Jan. 15, when the woman conversed with a very eager customer who was looking to get lucky.
To consummate sexual favors, the woman set the price at $160.
But before they could get it on — the woman was arrested on the spot and later charged with promoting prostitution.

▀ Morris Heights: Lunatic Ex Vows ‘I’m Coming For Everyone’
WITH FIVE BUSTS under his belt in the past year — if he’s not guilty, the perp is certainly prolific.
A 49-year-old allegedly scorned two orders of protections by judges to hurl death threats to a woman three times.
Already in a heap of trouble have racked up busts in September and October for choking and criminal contempt.
And on that score, the suspect reared his mug to allegedly haunt a woman who had sought protection from him.
Two times and two judges imposed a year-long orders of protection.
And those documents might as well have been printed on loser ticket at a horse race.
On the morning of Oct. 28, the suspect appeared at the woman’s Andrews Avenue apartment and groused, “I will kill everyone in Apartment 2C!”
A week later, on Nov. 6, the same unsavory returned to the woman’s home to wail, “I hope you die!”
The authorities say on the early morning of Nov. 25, and taunted the woman some more.
“You think this is over,” he rhetorically asked and then screamed. “I’m coming for everyone.”
The last shouting effort was enough to punch his ticket to get the jail business.
He was brought up on several charges of criminal contempt.

▀ Flatbush: Bat-Swinging Ruffians Inflict Devastating Licking On Man From Behind
A TRIO NEARLY killed a man after bushwhacking him from behind with bats and the soles of their shoes.
It was around 10 p.m. on Dec. 17 when three goons rushed a man inside a Bedford Avenue parking garage at the Ebbets Field Apartments.
They swarmed the 26-year-old man and ganged up on him with a series of haymakers.
When their target hit the ground, one of the fiends wielding a baseball bat went to work on the innocent’s legs and body.
The two other batless brutes then stomped on the man’s head “repeatedly”, according to the criminal complaint.
After tenderizing the man — the three fled.
The man was rushed to Kings County Hospital where he was treated for severe head and body injuries.
One of the three was snared and hit with attempted murder, gang assault, assault, and weapons possession.

⬛ QUEENS
▀ Far Rockaway: ‘I Fear One Day It Could Get A Lot Worse’: Mom Beats Pooch And Son With Headphones
IVY WASN’T WELCOMED in the kitchen.
The one-year-old pitbull (she’ll be two in April) allegedly parked just outside the doorframe to catch some Zs back at around noon on Feb. 25 inside their home located on Beach 19th Street near Everdell Avenue.
The tips of her paws crossed into the kitchen slightly.
But it was enough to cross the mother. And earned the poor pooch to suffer a severe pummeling.
“She put her paws in the kitchen,” the woman’s son, 21, told The Blotter.
Were her paws muddy or wet?
Nope.
“Her paws are clean,” she explained, but he acknowledged, “she just doesn't want her in the kitchen.”
He explained how Ivy unfortunately picked the wrong spot in the house.
“Think about the outside of your door,” the young man said. “And you know when dogs lie down – they put their paws out.”
That was Ivy’s crime.
The 42-year-old matriarch allegedly unleashed a hurt.
She kicked Ivy and then took hold of her younger son’s over-ear headphones and whacked the dog, causing her to suffer a bloody lip and cut over her eye.
“This is just, um, I would put it as stuff like this is bound to happen,” he said. ”I'm trying to get out of here because I fear one day – it could get a lot worse.”
Only he’s finding it hard to secure a place on his own right now. “the way this the economy works, you know, it's hard to do things by yourself,” he admitted.
“Her paws are clean… [my mom] just doesn't want her in the kitchen.”
When she was through hurting Ivy, her son was in the woman’s crosshairs.
She allegedly weaponized the headphones (who belonged to the man’s younger brother) again, and struck him “several times” to his head.
The attacked young man admitted that the clobbering he and Ivy endured wasn’t an anomaly.
He claims that his mother has been abusive since “when I was about eight years old and older.”
And according to him, the lashouts are often fueled by booze.
“She's an alcoholic,” he said.
Cops arrived early the next morning and took his mother into custody for torturing Ivy, failure to provide substance, assault, aggravated harassment, and harassment.
Attempts to reach the arrested mom were unsuccessful.
As far as Ivy’s recovery, the son said, She's all right. She's fine.”
Asked if he is recovering from the confrontation, the son was more concerned with Ivy, noting, “I could care less about myself.”

▀ Mariner’s Harbor: Nabbed Thief Admits ‘I Took The Car Battery’ Then Drove Car Into Protesting Clerk

HE NEEDED A battery. But he didn’t want to pay for it.
At around noon on Jan. 12, the perp was inside a Pep Boys on Forest Avenue near Van Name Avenue scoping for a part.
He found the brand he wanted and started jigging out the door without offering to tender the purchase.
A clerk in a branded Pep Boys jumper attempted to coax the suspect to purchase the heavy item.
But he was rebuffed.
While in the parking lot, the accused hopped in his car and was captured on CCTV hitting reverse and the punching the gas and struck the man’s leg.
