⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ East Village: Sinner Fleeces iPhone, Roughs Up Man In Front Of Church
A SOULLESS SOMEONE decided he wanted to charge at a senior for his iPhone and knocked around a toddler in the process.
The robber, 59, was lurking outside the Most Holy Redeemer Nativity Church located on East Third Street early morning on Oct. 1.
The suspect allegedly spotted an 88-year-old man walking by and knew he had a ripe target.
He allegedly ripped at his Apple iPhone situated in his back pocket, causing the old man to tumble to the ground.
He snatched the device and started to bolt.
As he did — he incidentally shoved a young child.
But his disappearing attempt was futile.
He was taken into custody and booked on grand larceny from a person and assault of a child less than 7 years old causing injury.
⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Rikers Island: Inmate Headlocked Shrink And Cracked Her Several Punches
THE COUNSELING WASN’T working.
An unhinged inmate serving time at Rikers Island unloaded on her therapist.
The jailbird was inside the prison when she was scheduled to share her feelings for a midday session on July 23, the criminal complaint reads.
But when the inmate met with the counselor, she went mental and grabbed the woman by her head and put her in a headlock.
She then slugged her several times to the face.
The beatdown also caused the psych expert’s eyeglasses to fracture.
It was another blemish in the woman’s rap sheet. That’s because she landed at Rikers for attacking another care provider in another facility months prior in April.
The suspect added to her caseload to include assault (injure care provider), obstructing governmental administration, criminal mischief, and harassment.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Greenpoint: Blitzed Baby Daddy Dresses Down Mom On Expressway Griping ‘You Are A Bitch And A Terrible Mother!’
A BOOZY BRUTE thought it wise to chastise his baby mama on the Long Island Expressway.
The source of the man’s discontent was driving on the night of Sept. 20.
Cops say the 33-year-old suspect was drunk off his gourd while trailing her and their infant child all over the LIE.
‘You are a bitch and a terrible mother. My mother is more of a mother to our daughter than you are.’
At one point the inebriated unsavory taunted the woman from his car window.
“You are a bitch and a terrible mother,” he shouted, according to the criminal complaint. “My mother is more of a mother to our daughter than you are.”
When the woman pulled off and stopped in front of a building on Oak Street along the East River, the determined dad followed in tow.
She stepped out of the car and he appeared.
The woman could smell his boozy breath before he exited the ride.
And when he did — he immediately became aggressive.
The mother took her phone and attempted to dial 911. But the perpy pop wrestled the gizmo from her hands and threw it to the ground, causing its glass panel to crack.
The call was enough to draw the fuzz who took the accused into custody.
After a Breathalyzer test was administered, the suspect blew a 0.150%; well above the state’s legal limit.
He was summarily hit with aggravated DWI with child, DWI alcohol, assault, criminal mischief, acting in a manner injurious to a child, and preventing emergency call.
▀ Williamsburg: Rabblerouser Vows To ‘Kill All Of You!’ During Bust
WERE IT NOT for the handcuffs he would take out every arresting cop.
That was the state of a 33-year-old who had been squabbling overnight on Sept. 7.
The shitstarter was outside Roebling Street and Broadway (within eyeshot of Peter Luger’s Steakhouse).
‘I’m going to kill all of you when I get out of these handcuffs.’
Cops arrived on scene after 911 calls were placed.
The perp allegedly put up a fight to avoid the collar.
And even when he was wearing bracelets, the suspect was even more ready for war.
“I’m going to kill all of you when I get out of these handcuffs,” he griped while flailing his arms and balling up his fists.
He was summarily taken away and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and harassment.

▀ St. Albans: ‘Hungry’ Buffet Gorger Wields Glass Bottle At Manager Shrieking ‘I’m Going To Hit You!’
HE THOUGHT HE could chow down por gratis.
A grubber, 34, was pinched trying to snarf down a full plate of Jamaican fare and a bottled drink without paying a dime.
The meal stealer stepped into Jamaica Breeze Restaurant located on Linden Boulevard at around 7:35 p.m. on Aug. 28, according to the criminal complaint.
The perp was clad in a blue jeans, a white shirt, blue sneakers and he loaded up a plate with heaps of food from the buffet.
He also secured a tasty bottled beverage to wash it all down.
However, he skipped the point of sale.
And that prompted the manager to inquire with the food fleecer about paying what he owed.
‘I had no money. I was going to borrow money from the shop keeper.’
The suspect refused.
And he even raised the glass bottle and groused, “I am going to hit you!”
The rattled manager retreated.
The suspect fled and probably thought he got away with the stolen supper.
However, the eatery has these things called cameras.
And they caught the entire incident and the footage led investigators to make him as well.
When they took the man into custody and questioned him — he tried to explain how he was gonna ask for an IOU.
“I was hungry,” he told them, the papers say. “I had no money. I was going to borrow money from the shop keeper.”
As far as the glass bottle threat against the manager, he claimed it was an act of self-defense.
“When she came at [me] — I raised my hand.”
The man was taken down for both failure to pay based on steal (dine-and-dash), robbery, and menacing with a weapon.

▀ Corona: BMW Roadrager Flashed Piece At Dodge Pickup Driver Before Spitting ‘What Are You Going To Do, Pussy?’
HE’S HELL ON the highway.
A 21-year-old goon was especially provoked on the Long Island Expressway (L.I.E.) that he was ready to throw down over an unscrupulous lane change.
The suspect was behind the wheel of a 2013 BMW M3 and tangoing with a driver of a Dodge pickup along the L.I.E. at around 4:45 p.m. on Sept. 7.
As they approached Exit 21 the suspect decided it was time to show who was boss.
He shouted: “What are you going to do, pussy?”
The truck driver dialed the cops.
Cops arrived at the suspect’s family home on Junction Boulevard — and affected an arrest.
They found the perp’s beamer with a license plate that was sheathed with a paper covering.
‘My girlfriend purchased the gun for me in Pennsylvania, we brought it to New York.’
They also were met by his mother.
She handed the cops a fanny pack with a loaded Taurus GX2 9mm pistol.
When the gun-flexing perp presented himself to the investigators he was asked about the weapon.
And he allegedly tried to claim it was a gift by his galpal.
“My girlfriend purchased the gun for me in Pennsylvania, we brought it to New York.”
The cops didn’t buy that excuse and charged him with weapons possession, attempted forgery of a vehicle identification number, and menacing.
▀ Maspeth: ‘I Will Kill You!’: Bottle And Vase-Tosser Goes Nuts Twice
THE FAMILY FEUD turned nearly terminal.
A 26-year-old unstable one targeted her cousin and grandfather in two separate attacks.
On the morning of Aug. 9, the woman’s first attack occurred inside her cousin’s home located on 73rd Street off 57th Avenue.
Authorities say the perp showed up and took a glass bottle and was spotted on CCTV “smashing a hole in her apartment door with a glass bottle.”
The maniac also confronted her grandfather who was in the building and growled, “I will kill you!” while whacking his front door with a glass bottle causing a hole, the criminal complaint details.
Overnight on Sept. 3, the suspect returned.
This time she took hold of several items in the home and launched them down a flight of stairs.
The projectiles included a blue vase that she tossed and smashed a window.
The family turned to the law and they took the woman into custody and brought charges of criminal mischief (damage property), endangering the welfare of a child, and harassment raps.

▀ New Dorp: Irate Hammer-Swinging Homeowner To Man, ‘Mind Your Business Before I Fucking Kill You!’
HE LOST IT and then took a headshot.
Whoever it was that was standing inside the 32-year-old man’s Colfax Avenue home — they were about to get the business.
Tempers flared sometime around 8 p.m. on July 10.
‘Get the fuck out of my house!’
Or at least his did.
The resident who apparently couldn’t keep his cool turned against the other person and belted, “Get the fuck out of my house!”
He added, “Mind your business before I kill you!”
And he was not exaggerating.
For he immediately grabbed a hammer and started going for the man’s dome.
But in his rage, he swung and missed.
He struck a wall instead.
That swing and miss ended with him getting pinched for menacing, weapons possession, attempted assault, menacing, and harassment.
