Flatbush—Midwood

Crack and movies

A man was arrested for allegedly stealing DVDs from a Flatbush Avenue store on Nov. 24, and now faces further charges after he was found in possession of crack cocaine, according to police.

An employee was in the store between Linden Boulevard and Martense Street at 1 am when she spotted the suspect stuff DVDs into a plastic bag and attempt to leave without paying.

Security at the store claims to have caught the man on his way out, however, where they found him in possession of 40 stolen films, cops said.

Furthermore, when police picked the man up, they found him in possession of a pipe caked in crack residue, along with a quantity of crack cocaine, according to police

Slashed

Police arrested a man who they say attacked a woman with a “sharp object” on 18th Avenue on Nov. 21, sending her to the hospital with deep gashes on her arm.

The victim told police that she was between McDonald Avenue and E. 2nd Street at 9 pm, when the suspect raised up the sharp object and brought it down on her arm, causing a nasty cut.

The victim was sent to the hospital, where she received stiches, while the suspect was soon picked up by police, who have surveillance footage that captured the attack, according to authorities.

Not lady-like

A woman was arrested for allegedly striking a man with her cane on Bedford Avenue on Nov. 20.

The victim told police that he was between Glenwood and Campus roads at 9:40 am when the suspect brought her cane down on his head. The victim later complained that the blow caused some disorientation and that he suffered “concussion symptoms” as a result, according to police.
