Bleach with that?
A bleach-wielding cretin in a fast-food uniform attacked a woman on Carlton Avenue on Aug. 17, cops reported.
The 19-year-old victim told police she was between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue at 10:30 pm, as she engaged in a heated argument with the disgruntled employee.
The dispute turned violent when the malefactor took up a bottle of bleach and flung its contents into the victim’s eyes, cops said.
Fresh, not clean
Police are looking to arrest a man for allegedly attacking a woman with air freshener can on Auburn Place on Aug. 19.
The 26-year-old victim told police she was talking on her phone between St. Edwards Street and N. Portland Avenue at 8 pm, when the suspect hurled a can of compressed fresh scents, striking her just behind the right ear.
The victim’s wounds were severe enough to warrant stitches, cops said.
Crowbar crook
Cops arrested a 56-year-old man who they say assaulted a woman with a crowbar on Fulton Street on Aug. 20, according to a report.
The 49-year-old woman told police she was near Washington Avenue at 10:55 pm when the suspect approached, waving his crowbar with menacing intent.
“B—-, I got something for you,” the suspect allegedly barked.
The suspect then allegedly swung at the victim, but only managed to damage the walker she was carrying. The victim escaped without injury, and police recovered the weapon during the arrest on Washington Avenue about 30 minutes after the attack, cops said.
Cat pack
Four women were arrested for allegedly attacking a woman on Cumberland Walk on Aug. 20, said police.
The 32-year-old victim told police that she was between N. Oxford Walk and Carlton Avenue at 5:40 pm when the suspects punched the victim repeatedly, leaving her with a fracture along the left side of her face, cops said.
Van down
Cops are looking for a crook who they say pilfered tools from a man’s van parked on Park Avenue on Aug. 18.
The 26-year-old victim told police that he parked his vehicle near Vanderbilt Avenue at 8:30 am, and returned at 5:10 pm to find that someone had let himself in.
Upon taking a look around, the victim determined that an air machine, chop saw, wood machine, and circular saw had gone missing, along with a small box of other various tools, cops said.
Pint-size perps
Three young adolescents were arresed for prying open and trying to sneak through the window of a man’s Dekalb Avenue home on Aug. 18, cops reported.
The victim was informed of the alleged break-in by a good Samaritan, who was passing by the home between Waverly and Washington avenues at 4:40 pm, when he saw the suspects, ranging in age between 10 and 12, perched atop a garbage can, pulling open the victim’s window.
After realizing they’d been spotted, the tweens scampered off in fright, but were later corralled by police on Clermont Avenue, cops said.
Back-window burglar
Cops cuffed a 30-year-old alleged trespasser, who they say crept into a Lexington Avenue apartment building on Aug. 19.
A witness told police that he spotted the perp enter the building between Garden and Classon avenues at 12:30 am, climbing in through an open window in the back of the building.
The suspect was collared about an hour after, when cops found him inside a locked sprinkler room in the apartment complex, according to police.
The Gucci goon
A sticky-fingered thief lifted a man’s Gucci wallet from his back pocket on a Brooklyn-bound G train at Lafayette Avenue on Aug. 18, according to police.
The victim told police he was near Washington Avenue at 9 am when the pickpocket bumped into him and then took a seat beside him. It wasn’t until about a half hour later that the victim realized that his high-fashion wallet was missing, along the cash, credit cards, and insurance information inside it.
Overdue bikes
A 23-year-old man was arrested on Aug. 18 for allegedly stealing a Citi Bike on Greene Avenue back on Nov. 7, 2014.
The arresting officer reported that he was on Elton Street between Glenmore and Pitkin avenues at 2:30 pm when he spotted the suspect riding the ill-gotten rental on a sidewalk.
After contacting the manager at the Citi Bike call center, the officer discovered that the two-wheeler’s return was long overdue, and that it had been in the suspect’s possession about 10 months too long, cops said.
Technical difficulties
A thief pilfered a Greene Avenue doctor’s office sometime between Aug. 6 and Aug. 20, taking three computers, police reported.
The victim told police that he left his office between Carlton Avenue and Adelphi Street at 3 pm on Aug. 6, and returned at around noon 14 days later to discover the computers were missing.
A police investigation found no signs of forced entry into the office, and the premises has no surveillance cameras, although several people had access to the building between the time when the computers were last seen and when they were discovered stolen, cops said.
