78th Precinct
Park Slope
You’re fired
A disgruntled one-time employee of a Seventh Avenue diner threatened to go on a shooting rampage at the eatery on Sept. 23.
A restaurant manager told police that the whacko stormed into the establishment between 11th and 12th streets at 1:15 pm to pick up his final paycheck.
On his way out, however, the psycho warned that he would return to “shoot up” the restaurant and its workers, cops said.
Drunk and disorderly
Police cuffed a patron of a Flatbush Avenue bar on Sept. 25 after he allegedly embarked on a belligerent tirade and threatened officers.
Bouncers at the watering hole near St. Marks Place told the suspect to scram at 2:38 am, after the man was caught threatening other bar-goers, cops said.
Not one to take a hint, the man allegedly forced his way into the tavern several times, before the patrolmen were hailed to assist, according to police.
After the officers gave the suspect one final warning to beat it, he allegedly put his fists up in a “fighting manner,” before resisting violently as the officers slapped him in cuffs, authorities said.
Bad smell
Cops arrested a 24-year-old woman for taking perfume from a Flatbush Avenue lingerie store on Sept. 24.
A store rep told police that the suspect waltzed into the retailer near Atlantic Avenue at 3 pm and grabbed $114 worth of the fragrances.
Bike bandit
A thief rode off with a man’s bike on Seventh Avenue on Sept. 21.
The victim told police he left his two-wheeler between Fifth and Sixth streets at noon, and returned an hour later to find it gone.
Give me shelter — or else!
Police cuffed a woman for going ballistic and damaging property inside an Eighth Avenue homeless shelter on Sept. 20.
An employee at the shelter told authorities that the suspect came into the facility between 14th and 15th streets seeking a warm bed at 11:50 pm, but became irate after learning there were no vacancies and smashed a glass bulletin board display case.
Prospect stalker
A whacked-out weirdo followed a woman into Prospect Park near Parkside Avenue on Sept. 18 and shouted threats at her.
The victim was by Park Circle at 9 pm when she noticed the man stalking her. He then made several unwarranted comments before threatening her, cops said.
A mixed bag
Police arrested a 56-year-old woman who they said looted a variety of goods from a Flatbush Avenue chain store on Sept. 19.
Security guards spotted the suspect inside the retailer near Atlantic Avenue trying at 4:40 pm with a pack of pens, a bag of candy, a notebook, headphones, baby wipes, shirts, three wallets, two packs of underwear, a toothbrush, and a pair of pants, cops said.
