76th Precinct
Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill–Red Hook
Done and dusted
Police cuffed a 27-year-old guy who they claim they found drunk in his car and in possession of brass knuckles on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway on June 12.
Officers say they observed the suspect slumped over in his 2004 Chevy van with the keys in the ignition near Hamilton Avenue at 9:15 am. The guy was allegedly slurring his words and had bloodshot eyes, and had the brass knuckles right next to him, authorities said.
Police arrested him for the possession of a criminal weapon and driving while intoxicated, officials said.
Maced in the face
Police arrested a woman who they say assaulted a 50-year-old guy in his home on Centre Mall on June 11.
The woman knocked on the stranger’s door between Columbia and Hicks streets at 11:27 pm, and the two got into an argument. At that point the suspect allegedly maced him, police said.
While he was sleeping
A punk swiped a guy’s wallet and tablet while he was sleeping on a Manhattan-bound F train on June 11, police said.
The victim said he fell asleep on the train at midnight and when he woke up at his Carroll Street stop, he noticed someone had cut his back pocket and the goods were missing.
He told police the wallet contained his insurance card, New York identification card, Social Security card, work permit, MetroCard, and $280.
Failed robbery
Police arrested a man for threatening to rob a bank on Court Street on June 7.
The suspect walked into the bank between First and Second places at 4:57 pm and allegedly passed a threatening note to the bank teller demanding money.
But he chickened out and ran off, and police arrested him on the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Bush Street, according to authorities.
