90th Precinct
Southside–Bushwick
Caught on camera
Police arrested a man for attempted murder after he allegedly shot a guy in the leg and buttocks on Moore Street on Sept. 5.
The victim told police he had just stepped out of a bodega at the northwest corner of Humboldt Street at 10:45 pm when someone shot him twice from behind. He was shot once in the left buttock and once in the rear left leg, and did not see who shot him.
But another witness saw the shooting and captured it on video, giving the cops enough evidence to charge the suspect with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and harassment.
Stomp: Not the Musical
A man was arrested for beating and robbing a man on Manhattan Avenue on Sept. 4.
According to the Kings County District Attorney office, the man, along with a handful of other guys, surrounded the victim near McKibbin Street at 10:10 pm, showed him the butt of a gun, and then beat and robbed him.
Police say some of the other men have been arrested. The suspect was charged with robbery, assault, grand larceny, petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, menacing and harassment.
Don’t panic
Police arrested a guy who they say tried to hold up a Flushing Avenue check-cashing store with an outrageous note on Aug. 15.
According to the Kings County District Attorney office, the man walked into the store between Nostrand and Bedford avenues at 6:40 pm and handed the teller a note.
“Do not panic,” it read. “Don’t make it a murder. I have a grenade and a gun. Put all the money on the counter now, only $20s, $50s, and $100s and I won’t hurt you.”
The teller refused and the man went away.
Police found the alleged robber after analyzing fingerprints at the scene.
