68th Precinct
Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Can’t take the time
Police arrested a 21-year-old man for allegedly attacking a woman on 84th Street on Aug. 1 and resisting arrest on Aug. 2.
The woman was between Fifth Avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway at 4:30 pm when the man punched her in the face, cutting her lip and causing her eye to swell.
When a police officer tried to arrest the man the next day between 81st and 82nd streets at 12:30 pm, the man flailed his arms and refused to walk forward, police reported. When he was finally led into a police car, he kicked one of the rear windows, causing the frame to shift out of the door.
What a tool
A 45-year-old man was arrested for failing to return items he rented back on Aug. 10, 2012 to a store on New Utrecht Avenue, police say.
Police say the man rented three chipping guns, a concrete cutter, a rotary hammer, an air compressor, a jackhammer, and two hoses for the air compressor, valued at $20,000, from the store located between Bay 16th Street and 18th Avenue last year at 9 am.
When the items were not returned within three days, an employee charged the man’s credit card, which was denied.— Melissa Goldin
