Flatbush—Midwood

Taking one to the face

A 45-year-old man was arrested at a bar on Bedford Avenue during the early hours on May 5 for assaulting the bartender, according to police.

The victim said she tried to make the man leave the bar between Albemarle Road and Tilden Avenue at last call at 4:40 am when he picked up a blender and chucked it at her.

The man’s aim was true, and the kitchen appliance knocked out two of her teeth when it hit her in the face.

Two for one

Police arrested a 47-year-old man who they say stole a Nikon camera and was in possession of methadone on May 17 at a Nostrand Avenue department store.

A security officer at the retailer between Avenues H and I said he saw the man place the camera in his pocket and try to leave the store at 5:05 pm. The guard recovered the camera, however, 40 minutes later, he said he saw the suspect with a prescription pill bottle with methadone inside, police reported.

The man faces larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and controlled substance charges.

Shouldn’t have dropped your hat

Police arrested a 36-year-old man for the Jan. 31 burglary of an E. 21st Street home.

The victim said he returned to his apartment between Regent Place and Beverley Road at 12:01 am to discover his TV, DVD player, cellphone, laptop, and jewelry was missing.

The suspect allegedly dropped a knit cap during the theft, and DNA recovered from the hat was matched to him, according to police.
