Man Beaten and Robbed in North Corona: NYPD

Sept. 18, 2019. By Shane O’Brien 

Police are looking for a suspect who assaulted a man and stole $300 from him outside a North Corona apartment building last month.

The robbery took place at about 2 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 29 outside 108-23 39th Ave., according to the NYPD.

The victim, a 39-year-old man, was walking down the residential street when the unidentified suspect approached him from behind and placed him in a choke hold. The victim fell to the ground, while the suspect proceeded to punch the man several times before stealing his wallet which contained about $300 cash.

The suspect fled on foot in an unknown direction, while the victim later refused medical attention.

Police describe the suspect as tall and black, with a medium build. He was last seen wearing all dark clothing.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, or on Twitter @ NYPDTips.

Did you spill your coffee tripping over one of the countless homeless people laying around the city? Or running from some gang banger shooting at a rival at 2:00 in the afternoon? Or from one of the ATV gangs rampaging thru red lights and on sidewalks? If not one of those, or something similar to those, then you probably shouldn’t blame De Blasio for spilling your coffee.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
