Barbershop fight
Police arrested a 25-year-old woman suspected of assaulting another woman at Shorty’s barbershop on Washington Avenue just before 3 pm on July 22.
An argument turned violent when the suspect started swinging at the victim, pummeling her in the face before fleeing the barbershop, which is between Dean and Bergen streets. The assailant was arrested later that afternoon.
Unwilling Samaritan
An unscrupulous clerk at the T-Mobile shop on Vanderbilt Avenue gave a friend a credit card number to help her pay her cable and electricity bills — but the big problem was that the number belonged to a T-Mobile customer.
The victim realized that he’d been duped a few days after buying a phone on July 20 from the store, which is between Prospect and St. Marks places. He noticed that more than $1,000 had been charged to his card, and when he called the person who made the charges, she said her friend had given her the number to help her pay some bills.
Oops.
Car cracked
A thief broke into a car on Underhill Avenue overnight on July 23 and made off with fancy electronics and more personal items.
The victim locked her car up at 6 pm on July 23 between Pacific and Dean streets and returned at 8:30 the next morning to find the car’s lock picked and her iPod, laptop, navigation system, eyeglasses and hair straightener gone.
