del.icio.usBodega of terror
A counterman at an Underhill Avenue bodega got the fright of his life when an enraged man showed off a black handgun and screamed, “I’m going to kill you!” on July 24 — then slashed him with a knife.
The horrifying threat stemmed from a dispute a day earlier, when the two men argued at the store, which is between to Bergen Street and St. Marks Place, at about 10 am.
The next day at around noon, the man returned to the store, walked up to the counter and lifted up his shirt to reveal the black automatic pistol.
“I’m going to kill you,” he said before ransacking the store and cutting the clerk with the knife.
The thug didn’t take anything, but ran off, leaving a red bike behind.
Window pain
A man was arrested for attempting to break the window of a Vanderbilt Avenue apartment on July 22.
The 43-year-old man threw an unknown object at the widow of the apartment, which is between Park and Sterling Places, at close to 10:30 pm, cops said.
The resident’s neighbor saw the hoodlum and promptly called the cops, who made the collar.
