Daily blotter


Queens


Cops have released ­extrapolated sketches (including the one above) of a man whose skull was found in a duffel bag in Elm­hurst.


Police say a 36-year-old man found the skull while collecting cans near the CSX railroad tracks opposite 72-36 43rd Ave. on April 12.


Officers canvassed the area where the skull was found and discovered more body parts in strewn-about bags, according to authorities.


The remains were taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office, where forensics determined that they were those of a man about 30 years old, cops said.




Two suspects (above) robbed a Howard Beach travel agency at gunpoint, cops said.


The duo walked into Liberty Travel at Cross Bay Boulevard and 157th Avenue and ordered six employees to the back of the establishment Friday at 9:45 a.m., police said.


The robbers bound workers’ hands with zip ties and took money out of a safe after forcing an employee to reveal the passcode, cops said.


They also swiped cellphones and cash from the workers, cops said.

A woman stabbed her nephew twice in the groin after an argument erupted over a piece of cake in upper Manhattan, police said.


According to cops, Sha­tibia Murphy, 24, got into a fight in her nephew’s apartment at Park Avenue and East 105th Street in the Clinton Houses at about 3:10 a.m. Saturday.


She allegedly stabbed him twice in the groin area, cops said.


He was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital in stable condition, authorities said.


Murphy, of Brooklyn, has been charged with felony assault, cops said.


Brooklyn


Police released a photograph of a license plate and a car driven by a hit-and-run motorist wanted for ramming a woman as she crossed a street in Park Slope Wednesday.


The 46-year-old victim was crossing Fourth Avenue in a marked crosswalk on Nov. 5th, when the driver of a blue 2008 Hyundai Elantra travelling northbound on the avenue blew past a red light and barreled into her, according to cops.


The victim was rushed to Lutheran Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, said law-enforcement authorities.


A photo (above) of the Hyundai was provided by police on Friday, after a witness came forward with the picture after the hit-and-run.
