76th Precinct
Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill–Red Hook
Dicey promise
Cops popped a knife-wielding woman just minutes after she threatened a lady on Columbia Street on Sept. 2 by promising her a dicey fate, according to a police report.
The victim was between Baltic and Kane streets at 6:20 pm when the 43-year-old woman approached waving a knife at her and telling her, “I’m gonna cut you up,” cops said.
The victim promptly notified police, who found her alleged tormentor less than a block away and charged her with menacing and criminal possession of a weapon, a report said.
You can’t hide
A 30-year-old man wanted for an outstanding warrant added another charge to the list when he was stopped for riding his bike on the platform at the Carroll Street stop on the F and G lines on Sept. 6, cops said.
A transit cop stopped the biker at midnight, and when he ran the guy’s identification, he found he was wanted on an outstanding warrant, according to a report.
The man, who apparently also knew about the warrant, took off running, jettisoning his bike and heedlessly hopping down onto the train tracks, running down the Church Avenue-bound tracks and managing to elude his pursuers, cops said.
A police spokesman said the man has been on the cop’s radar before.
Better late than never
Cops arrested a 15-year-old boy on Sept. 2 in connection to a robbery in Carroll Park on Aug. 13, according to a police report.
The victim, a 15-year-old boy, was standing in the park at the corner of Smith and Carroll streets at 5:45 pm when a group of about 20 teens swarmed him, punching him multiple times in the face and snatching his basketball before scattering, cops said.
The victim was able to identify one of his attackers on Sept. 2 at the precinct, and cops collared him and charged him in connection to the robbery, a report said.
Better lock next time
A burglar slipped into a house on Clinton Street sometime overnight on Sept. 6, cops said.
The thief made off from the abode between Atlantic Avenue and State Street with a red Sirrus bike valued at $650 that had been parked in a second floor hallway sometime between 9 pm on Sept. 6 and 7 am the next day, a report said. There was no evidence the sneak forced entrance, although the victim told cops he had locked the door, police said.
What a paint
A public housing building on Columbia Street fell victim to a lock-breaking paint thief sometime overnight on Sept. 3, cops said.
An office manager at the building between Verona and Delevan streets left work at 4:30 pm on Sept. 3 and returned the next day at 7 am only to find several locks broken on the floor, and four buckets of paint valued at $480, two boxes of plaster, and a roll of duct tape missing, according to a police report.
Rooftop knife-point stick-up
A no-count punk stuck up a woman on the roof a building on Bond Street on Sept. 2, cops said.
The victim was hanging out on top of the building between Douglass and Butler streets in Gowanus at 8:55 pm when a guy she didn’t know came up to her, snatched her iPhone, and tried to get hold of her purse, a report said.
When she wouldn’t let go of the bag, the galoot knocked the woman to the ground and told her, “Get up and I’ll kill you,” before taking off, police said. The brute was described as a 25-year-old male standing about 5-foot-10 and weighing about 185 pounds, according to a report.
