Daily Blotter


Brooklyn


A 27-year-old woman was sexually abused on a Williamsburg street, police sources said.


The victim had just left the Sweet Science bar on Johnson and Graham avenues on Nov. 9 at about 2:30 a.m. when she was approached by the fiend, police said.


The attacker grabbed her by the neck and covered her mouth before scratching her face, sources said.


As the woman tried to escape his clutches, the creep reached up her dress and touched her genitals, police sources said.


The Brooklyn Special Victims Unit is investigating the incident as a felony sex abuse case.


A suspect description was not immediately available.




Manhattan


A subway conductor was hit with a hurled object while his southbound No. 1 train barreled through Tribeca, sources said.


An assailant tossed a box of wooden coffee stirrers at the moving train, hitting the conductor in the face at the Canal Street station on Nov. 10 at about 10:35 p.m., law enforcement sources said.


The 47-year-old victim suffered minor cuts, authorities said.


The attacker fled on foot and was last seen wearing a red jacket. He is believed to be in his 20s.




A woman was arrested for driving drunk in Washington Heights after ramming into a marked police car that was pulled off to the side on the Harlem River Drive, police said.


Margaret Young, 57, of The Bronx, was heading northbound on the highway at about 7:30 p.m. Monday when she slammed into the patrol car that had stopped to help a disabled motorist near the West 178th Street exit, police said.


Young and the cop suffered minor injuries. Both were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in stable condition.


Young was charged with DWI and colliding with an emergency vehicle, police said.


The driver has no prior arrests, police sources said.




A bumbling bandit tried but failed to rob a bank while claiming to have a gun in Tribeca, police sources said.


The suspect allegedly walked into the Valley National Bank on Franklin Street just before 4 p.m. on Nov. 12 and passed a 25-year-old teller a note stating, “I have a gun. Put the money in the bag.”


Then he barked, “Give me all hundreds. I ain’t playing with you, yo, give me all hundreds. I ain’t playing. I have a gun,” sources added.


The teller hesitated and the goon fled empty-handed, sources said.


The bandit was last seen wearing a black jacket, a skullcap and white sneakers while going north on Church Street, police sources said.


He stands about 5-foot-11.


No one in the bank was injured.




Cops have released additional images of a man in a religious headdress — and a shirt open to his navel — who is one of three suspects in a purse theft, cops said.


The trio sidled up to a 26-year-old woman seated at a bar inside the Hotel Chantelle at Ludlow and Delancey streets on the Lower East Side on Sept. 20, police said.


The victim’s bag was hanging on her chair just before the trio disappeared into the bathroom, where the purse was later found, cops added.


The woman’s phone and MetroCard were gone.


Surveillance video shows something in the hands of the headdress-wearing suspect, police said.




Staten Island


A Woodrow man was arrested after sending his teen son to get illegal pills from his car, authorities said.


Carmelo Salvaggio, 36, told his 14-year-old son to go to the vehicle, which was parked on Bloomingdale Road and Marisa Circle on Nov. 11 at about 9:55 a.m., a Criminal Court complaint states.


The son retrieved 50 pain killers, acetaminophen hydrocodone, which were inside a plastic bag, police sources said.


“I sent him to the car to get the pills. I don’t have a pill bottle,” Salvaggio allegedly told police.


It’s unclear how the cops learned of the incident, but Salvaggio was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of controlled substance.


The case against his son, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, will be heard in Family Court.




A former firefighter was busted for having a gun in his van and three more firearms in his Tottenville home, authorities said.


Glen Midbo, 56, was caught with a loaded .40-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun and 10 cartridges of ammunition inside a tackle box in his van on Veterans Road West and Arthur Kill Road last Saturday at about 2:10 p.m., a Criminal Court complaint states.


A search of his home turned up three rifles and one shotgun under his bed, police sources said.


Midbo was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a fire arm, possession of ammunition and unlawful disposition of rifles or shotguns.
