94th Precinct
Greenpoint–Northside
Glasshole
Cops arrested a guy who they say threw drinking glasses from the roof of a Wythe Avenue building and hit one person in the head on June 18, according to a report.
Witnesses told authorities they saw the guy on top of the building near N. 12th Street “recklessly and intentionally” throwing glasses down onto the street below around 8:30 pm, the report said.
A large group of patrons was waiting to enter a nightclub underneath, and one of the falling glasses hit one of them, which left the victim with a cut that required stitches, the report said.
Give and take
A passenger stole a taxi driver’s phone — and only paid part of his fare — on Morgan Avenue on June 12, police said.
The driver told cops he picked up the customer in Queens and was about to drop him off near Frost Street around 1:40 pm when the customer said he only had $30 of the $35 fare, according to a police report.
The victim was calling his base on his company phone to see if he could accept the lower payment when the passenger left the $30, grabbed the phone from the driver’s hand, and ran off, the report said.
Attempts to call the driver’s phone went straight to voicemail, cops said.
Pay up
A cab driver drove off with a customer’s credit card, car key, bank check, and a $50 Visa gift card on June 18, cops said.
The victim said her credit card was denied several times when she tried to pay the driver at her home at N. Henry Street at 1:30 am. She then tried to pay with a $30 bank check, but the driver refused to accept it, according to the police report.
She became upset and the driver took the check and her other belongings as collateral while she went into her home to get cash, but when she came back out, the cab and her belongings were gone, cops said.
Some friend
A guy set up a bank account in his friend’s name and left his buddy in the lurch for months of bills, the Norman Avenue victim told police on June 16.
The victim told cops that his so-called pal opened the account under his name and has not paid any of the charges since Feb. 20. The victim said he now owes more than $6,000, cops said.
