The Blotter.* A roundup of happenings in Gotham’s mean streets (and from time to time the tri-state region). Each item provides a staticky glimpse into the sleepless city’s peripheral misdemeanors, felonies, and misadventures.

⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Midtown: Nabbed Train Seat Hogger Was Wanted For Destroying Japan’s Ambassador’s Mansion Intercom

JANUARY HAS BEEN a banner month for a hellion who ran roughshod all over town.
The 47-year-old woman was busted on Jan. 27 for gluttonously reclining on a subway train in Brooklyn. When the officers ran her name through the system — she popped up as a wanted woman.
In fact, the same woman had been especially unsavory on the eve of Jan. 8 when she was allegedly trying to make noise outside of Japan’s Ambassador to the UN located on East 62nd Street off Madison Avenue.
The suspect rang the intercom at around 9:30 p.m. that night and allegedly made unspecified threats of violence.
Authorities believe they were “terroristic in nature”.
When a staffer at the posh digs denied the woman entry, she allegedly ripped the intercom off the wall and then evaporated.
After getting summoned for the violation of transit rules for getting extra comfortable on the subway seats, she was then taken to the 19th Precinct, where she was charged with outstanding arrest warrant.
The same intercom eradicator had racked up a menacing, criminal mischief, and harassment bust in Harlem back on Jan. 6.
She allegedly toted a knife and threatened a stranger.

⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Fordham Heights: Woman Caught Slinging Crack To Undercover Nearby Grade School
SHE WAS EXTRA cavalier with the crack.
A 45-year-old wasn’t bashful about tendering a sale of a vial of crack to a customer around the corner from P.S. 9 Ryer Avenue Elementary School.
What’s more, the buyer was an undercover.
It was around 5 p.m. on Jan. 14, when the woman was allegedly outside Creston Avenue near Field Place.
The informant offered a tenspot and the suspect in turn gave away a gray capsule containing the rock.
Narcos moved in and busted the suspect along with a 60-year-old.
Each faces raps for criminal sale of a controlled substance (crack) and criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.
The elder cohort has previous drug hits dating back to Sept. 11, 2021, but failed to appear for a hearing in that course.
That made him a felon.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Bushwick: Shot Father And Son Get Baseball Bat Licks On Their Gunslinger
AN INNOCENT STROLL between a father and son was thwarted by a goon who was trigger-happy.
The 65-year-old father and his 35-year-old son were walking together before 8 a.m. on Jan. 12.
Immediately, a challenger zeroed in like a shark swimming in a waterbed to quarrel with them... surely about his unquenching wonder about the limits of the universe.
Their loggerheads upgraded to full-blown combat.
The sore man drew a gun and fired off shots at the pair, striking the elder in the right leg and his son’s stomach.
Despite getting hit by gunshots, the victims had enough stuff to reach for a baseball bat and level several blows to the blasting desperado. They also stripped him of his piece.
Authorities bagged the suspect. He was rolled over for criminal possession of a loaded firearm and assault.

⬛ QUEENS
▀ South Jamaica: NYPD Auto Worker Nabbed For Choking And Smashing Brother-In-Law’s Face
A BEEF BETWEEN brothers landed the civil servant one in lockup.
The 36-year-old police worker who is posted to repair NYPD’s fleet of autos was taken away from a home in bracelets after duking it out with his brother-in-law.
Back on 8:15 p.m. on Dec. 27, the men squared off inside the abode located on 128th Avenue near Guy Brewer Boulevard.
The suspect allegedly used both his hands to choke out his kin.
He then allegedly walloped the victim, shattering his eyeglasses, and causing his nose to endure an “alteration”, according to the criminal complaint.
Authorities took the accused into custody and brought him up on assault, strangulation, criminal mischief, and harassment.

⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ New Springville: Recidivist Brute Bludgeons Gal With Cordless Phone, Then Chokes Her
HE WEAPONIZED HER telephone.
A punk who was prohibited by a judge from having any contact with a woman, 39, for a year — defied the order and unleashed a brutal attack against her.
The suspect struck at around 1 p.m. on Christmas when he entered a home on Wellington Court off Richmond Hill Road.
He allegedly took hold of the woman’s cordless telephone and used it to whack her head and face “several times”, the criminal complaint reads.
The phone calamity did a number on the woman. He then allegedly grabbed hold of her neck and choked her.
Responding cops arrived and cuffed the cruel zero. He was taken to school for assault, criminal contempt, weapons possession, obstruction of breathing, aggravated harassment, and plain old harassment.
It hasn't been a good month for the perp.
Days before brutalizing the woman (specifically Dec. 17) he was busted days prior for targeting a senior and allegedly choking them.
He had been sprung sans bail after pleading not guilty at his arraignment.
On Dec. 7, the suspect caught a DWI case that included driving without a license.
