88th Precinct
Fort Greene–Clinton Hill
I saw her first!
Cops cuffed an amorous individual who they say beat a man with a baseball bat after an argument about the victim’s girlfriend at an Atlantic Avenue bar on Oct. 16.
The victim told police that he and his sweetheart were at the tavern near Grand Avenue around 3:50 am, when he got into a verbal argument with the accused over his main squeeze.
The argument escalated and the suspect went to his car and retrieved the bat, which he then used to beat the victim, dislocating his shoulder, according to a police report. The victim was taken to Methodist Hospital.
The pen is mightier
Police arrested a man for stabbing another guy in the face with a pen in a Prince Street shelter on Oct. 17, cops said.
Police were called to the shelter near Tillary Street at 7 pm, and arrested the suspect upon arrival, officials said.
Police handgun stolen
A thief stole a police officer’s nine-millimeter handgun and other crime-fighting tools from the trunk of a car on Clermont Avenue on Oct. 16, cops say.
The bold burglar broke into the officer’s car parked between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue, and took the loaded Sig Sauer P226 handgun, an extra 15-round magazine, police-issue pepper spray, a radio, and handcuffs, a report said.
Eh, nevermind
Someone stole a man’s Kawasaki motorcycle on Lafayette Avenue, and for reasons unknown, promptly trashed several crucial parts and ditched it up the block around Oct. 7, police say.
The victim told authorities he parked his bike near Vanderbilt Avenue and returned to find it up the block, with a broken fairing — a shell placed over the frame of the motorcycle — and master bolt.
