Update: Steven Chan shared: “I had an opportunity to speak to the commanding officer of the 62 pct a few hours ago. The perpetrator was arrested by the 62 precinct Neighborhood coordination officers. (Great job officers!) He also vandalized the traffic signals at the intersection. (Steven Chan is running for office – elect him!!)
Two statues outside of St. Dominic’s Church at 2001 Bay Ridge Pkwy (20th Avenue) were badly vandalized around 3:00 pm today. (See Citizen Alert) It’s awful to see this outside of a church.
The statue above is of Pope John XXIII and it is missing his face and hand. Below is a gold statue that was badly damaged.

June 8, 2024Hit and Run – Bath Avenue & Bay Parkway
A male driver hit another vehicle on Bath Avenue and Bay Parkway (by the liquor store) and then turned and left.
The other driver was a woman, who took to social media because she was surprised someone who do a hit and run in this neighborhood. The male driver did not ask if the other driver or passenger were hurt. Thankfully they are okay, although her daughter has whiplash.
Their car also had small damage – two holes from his license plates.
One man who was walking by went over to the car and chatted with the driver. He saw it happen and must have realized she was shaken up.

June 8, 2024Mural on 13th Avenue and Bay Ridge Ave. Who are the Three Young Men in the Painting?
I never knew the story behind the mural on the three guys 13th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue.
In 2008, four friends went fishing and their boat capsized. One of the men was able to get to safety, the other three died. (Story here)
RIP Domenico Coluccio, Anthony Dupont and Carlo Milito. Such a beautiful tribute to three young lives lost.
