78th Precinct
Park Slope
No shelter
Cops cuffed a woman who they say threatened to cut another lady’s throat with a pen inside an Eighth Avenue women’s shelter on July 9.
The victim told police she was inside the refuge between 14th and 15th streets at 2:55 am when the suspect became abusive and began making threats.
At one point the suspect bashed the victim with a chair, before pressing the writing implement to her throat, cops said.
No Triumph
A bandit rode off with a man’s Triumph motorcycle after he parked it on 14th Street on July 6.
The victim told cops he left his ride between Seventh and Eighth avenues at 8:30 pm, and returned to find himself short one two-wheeled cruiser.
Dine and dash
An opportunistic diner sped off with a delivery guy’s Acura on July 4, which the employee left idling in front of the Seventh Avenue eatery where he works.
The driver told police he left his ride with the key in the ignition outside the restaurant between Carroll Street and Garfield Place at 8:24 pm while rushing in to pick up some deliveries.
But in the meantime, a patron slipped out of the establishment and seated himself behind the wheel, then put his ill-gotten pedal to the metal, cops said.
Breaking without entering
Some goon tried to break into a man’s 1997 Toyota, after he parked it on Seventh Avenue near Ninth Street on June 28.
The victim told police that he woke up at around 9 am to find his ride sporting dents around the windows, as though some fiend had attempted to force his way in.
Postal self-service
A fiend made off with a package that had been left in front of a man’s Fourth Street apartment on July 1, while the resident was off on vacation.
The victim returned from the getaway to his home between Seventh and Eighth avenues at around 1:44 pm to find the $99 parcel he was expecting gone, authorities said.
Soap dope
A dirty crook nabbed bar soap and body wash from a Ninth Street pharmacy on July 3.
The scoundrel waltzed into the drug store between Fifth and Sixth avenues at 10 pm, when he proceeded to stuff the cleaning products into a brown paper bag before running off, cops said.
