January 12, 2008: Vol. 31, No. 2

A woman was slashed with a razor after an argument at the criminal courthouse on Jay Street on Jan. 3.

Two women, both 27 years old, were arguing in a courtroom at around 10 am when the suspect reached out and cut the victim’s left arm, cops say.

Police arrested the suspect at the courthouse and found a razor blade tucked in her waistband. The woman was charged with felony assault.

Motor-psycho

Cops nabbed a would-be motorcycle thief red handed at the corner of State and Smith streets on Jan. 4.

The victim, who lives on Prospect Park West, called police at around 9 pm when he saw the thief trying to hot-wire the chopper.

Cops quickly showed up and arrested the 17-year-old.

Copy caper

Someone stole a $20,000 copy machine from an Atlantic Avenue office building on Jan. 3, cops said.

The victim told police he was going in and out of the building as he moved items from his office. When he returned from one trip to the new location, he noticed the copier was missing.

Brick burg

A burglar tossed a brick through the glass door of a bar at the corner of Third and Atlantic avenues on Jan. 2 and made off with $800 in cash.

Police found the bar’s living room charm had been shattered along with the glass. They also found the cash missing.

Police report about the bar’s popular foosball table, so it’s safe to assume it survived.

Bail me out

A woman who owns a bail bond business on Atlantic Avenue had her purse stolen from her office, probably by one of the perps she bailed out, around 1 pm on Jan. 2.

The victim lost four credit cards, three wallets and a pocketbook, but no cash.
