Suspect sets off firework in Bed-Stuy building, smashes several cars before fleeing the scene

September 12, 2021

Authorities are looking for a suspect who attached a firework to an apartment door in Bedford-Stuyvesant early Friday morning. Members of the FDNY and NYPD responded to reports of smoke at 446 Madison St. at 7:45 am on Sept. 10, according to authorities, who say firefighters and police officers discovered that someone had set off a high-grade firework inside the apartment building. A preliminary investigation found that the suspect, who authorities would only describe as an unidentified man, also smashed 15 cars with a hatchet before he was stopped by a resident of the building. The suspect also is said to have family inside the unit. He fled the scene on a green dirt bike. The suspect allegedly damaged more than a dozen…

BLM protester accuses police of sexual assault during Brooklyn Bridge march

May 9, 2021

A Black Lives Matter protester says she was the victim of sexual misconduct and assault at the hands of the NYPD during a recent demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge. At a press conference May 6, Maila Beach and her lawyer, Manhattan district attorney candidate Tahanie Aboushi, told reporters that April 24 started out as a night like many others. Beach and fellow demonstrators were preparing to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge as part of a continued call for justice for Black and brown victims of police violence. When the group began their march, Beach told reporters Thursday, the NYPD created a blockade with their bikes, forcing protesters to retreat. Eventually, officers weaponized their victims and tackled protesters to the ground, at which point Beach claims she was …

December 13, 2020

Opinion: This year’s budget was a weird one

July 5, 2020

New York City passed its budget this week, as it does every June 30. This year was rather different than most, though. It was the first budget in more than a decade that decreased spending from the previous year, due to the massive contraction of our economy from the coronavirus pandemic. It’s also the first city budget to occur in this new era of widespread anti-police sentiment. These factors have created a very strange budget that seems to me the most opaque in several years. The NYPD’s budget was cut for the first time in a very …

Opinion: It’s time to end police enforcement of social distancing

May 10, 2020

Mayor Bill de Blasio needs to end the policy of requiring our NYPD to enforce social distancing.  Now more than ever, we need our cops to focus on the real criminals taking advantage of this pandemic, which is causing more havoc at the expense of innocent New Yorkers. For example, commercial burglaries were up 169 percent in April compared to last year.  In addition, there has been a 55 percent increase in robberies in our subway system compared to last year, despite an over 90 percent decrease in ridership. Also, our subway has become a rolling hotel for the homeless, making it an even more nerve-racking experience.  Despite the fact that there are already MTA rules prohibiting using the trains as a …

Fifth Avenue slashers on the loose

February 16, 2020

Cops are hunting the would-be thieves who slashed a man in the neck during a botched robbery in Sunset Park earlier this month.  The 31-year-old victim told cops that the two crooks pulled a box cutter on him and demanded on Fifth Avenue near 52nd Street at 2:30 am on Feb. 5. When the victim refused to fork over his wallet, one of the fiends slashed him, before fleeing empty handed, cops said. https://www.brooklynpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/608-20-72-pct-Att-Rob-2-5-20.mp4 Paramedics took the victim to a nearby hospital, where he was treated and released the that night. No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.  Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to …
