69th Precinct
Canarsie
Broom bandit
Cops cuffed a man who they say attacked another man with a knife and broom on E. 79th Street on Nov. 29.
The victim told police that he was between Flatlands Avenue and Paerdegat First Street at 1:35 pm when the suspect pulled out a kitchen knife and started waving it menacingly in his direction. The suspect then allegedly grabbed a broomstick and bashed the suspect in the neck, cops said.
The victim suffered an abrasion on his neck as a result of the attack, and was treated at a nearby hospital for his wounds, cops said.
Drum battle
A man was arrested for allegedly attacking another gentleman with a drum inside his E. 94th Street on Nov. 30.
The victim told police that he was between Avenues L and M at 6:10 pm when the suspect punched a hole in his wall, called him a “b----,” and then hurled a drum at him.
Fortunately, the victim was able to dodge the flying percussion instrument, but the glass vase behind him wasn’t so lucky, cops said.
Poster board perp
Authorities arrested a man who they say was part of a gang beat down and robbery of a man on Avenue N on Nov. 22.
The victim told police that he was near W. 100th Street at 7:15 pm when the suspect and a group of man walked up to him and started swinging. The victim was cold cocked at least twice in the assault, once by the suspect, and again by another crook who remains on the loose, cops said.
As the victim lay bleeding with a chipped tooth, the suspect or one of the other attackers grabbed the man’s poster board and markers, before fleeing, according to reports.
Whether the suspect took it or not, however, he’s facing multiple counts of robbery, along with the assault charges, cops said.
