A Thief Robbed a Woman on 86th St. & 4th Avenue By Threatening Her With Scissors

TODAY, the police shared that a woman was robbed in Bay Ridge on 86th Street and 4th Avenue ON DECEMBER 28th – that’s more than three weeks ago. (News here and here)
The man showed a pair of red scissors. He took the woman’s purse. He is believed to be in his 30’s. The man is around 5’6″ tall and 175 pounds.
The man ran to the train station to get away (and that’s how they have the picture above).
Why didn’t the 68th Precinct share this with the community weeks ago? Captain John Dasaro is new to our precinct, but should have reached out to the community by now.
Why didn’t Councilman Justin Brannan or Senator Andrew Gounardes give the community a heads up three weeks ago? There are so many ways to communicate, but the police and politicians are not doing that.
People in Bay Ridge share information with their neighbors so that people are alert and can watch out for criminals. The police and politicians in this area just don’t care. They tell their staff and families and that’s it.

January 19, 2025MLK March Announced on January 18th for January 19th in Bay Ridge – Is It Really for MLK?

Yesterday the flyer above was shared.
If they are having a march for Martin Luther King Day, why wouldn’t they advertise it a few weeks ago?
The sign up form is from the Democratic Socialists of America.

The sign-up form doesn’t even mention the Arab American Association, Cair or Mixteca.
The location to meete is 74th Street and 4th Avenue – no address. (See street view)
Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan didn’t mention this march (or any of the Martin Luther King events on social media – see here)
There were no signs for Martin Luther King – this was a march in favor of immigrants, as this is the eve of Trump’s inauguration. (See video)
Martin Luther King Jr. Day doesn’t get the respect or events deserved in South Brooklyn. NYS wrote to take action, but there are only a few service opportunities for children and teens in Brooklyn on January 20th.

Many not-for-profits receive money, but none of them are interested in holding a real MLK event for some reason. The children are off from school and it’s an easy day to get people together.
