Daily Blotter


Brooklyn


■ Cops are trying to identify the man who allegedly exposed himself to a woman on a Coney Island train.


The man was aboard the Q train near the Stillwell Avenue subway station at around 1 a.m. Saturday when he flashed the unsuspecting victim — who took out her cellphone and snapped a photo, cops said.


The 21-year-old woman, who was unharmed, alerted police and provided authorities with the photo.




■ Two men with an eye for sunglasses used a stolen credit card to rip off a Fort Greene Cohen’s Fashion Optical — getting away with more than $ 3,000 worth of designer shades, cops said.


The duo, one wearing a pair of Nike Air Jordans and a Rangers cap, and the second in a Kangol cap, walked off with six pairs of shades, the most expensive of which were designer Cazal sunglasses valued at $ 850, cops said.




The Bronx


■ Two men were gunned down, one fatally, in a shootout in Tremont, cops said.


The victims were in a building lobby on East 166th Street near Tinton Avenue at 9:15 p.m. Friday, according to police.


There they were shot multiple times by an unidentified suspect.


A 26-year-old man was found with gunshot wounds to the torso and pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital, cops said.


The second victim, a 27- year-old man, suffered gunshot wounds to the legs and back and was listed in stable condition at the same hospital, according to authorities.

Staten Island


■ A Dongan Hills man was nabbed by police after an investigation revealed he had more than 100 images of child porn on his computer, said a spokesman for the office of Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan.


Stephen Bevilacqua, 33, was arrested at his Buel Avenue home on Wednesday at around 5 p.m.


He had collected the disturbing images from August 2011 through January, according to court document. He was hauled out of his home in cuffs, authorities said.


Bevilacqua later admitted, “I always knew in my mind it was wrong and illegal to do,” according to a Criminal Court complaint.
