Daily Blotter



The Bronx


An NYPD employee was busted after a spat with her girlfriend turned physical in a Schuylerville apartment, officials said Sunday.


Paz del Carmen Rios, 27, a police communications technician, attacked her gal pal during an argument just after 8 p.m. Saturday, cops said.


Police said no weapons were involved, and the victim’s injuries were minor.


Rios was charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment.




Brooklyn


A woman died in a drunken-driving accident in Crown Heights early Sunday, police said.


The 32-year-old victim was heading east on Eastern Parkway and tried to turn onto Troy Avenue at around 4:15 a.m., when her car collided with a vehicle operated by an intoxicated driver, cops said.




A cabby was attacked by a woman who robbed him of his Galaxy cellphone and $ 40, police said Sunday.


The thug pummeled the 54-year-old hack at Fulton Street and Van Sic­len Avenue at 10:40 p.m. Thursday, snatched his phone and cash, and then fled, cops said.


The woman is about 5-foot-7 and 130 pounds. She was wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt.




A man who arranged to sell a designer belt in an East New York subway station became the victim of a pellet-gun robbery, authorities said Sunday.


The man, in his 20s, brought his Louis Vuitton belt to the Livonia Avenue station at 12:45 p.m. Thursday to sell to another man, but the prospective buyer showed up with a weapon, cops said.


The robber fired a pellet into the victim’s backpack before snatching the belt and dashing out of the station, police said.


The suspect wore a Miami Heat baseball cap and a red T-shirt.




A middle-aged woman tried to knock off a bank in Bensonhurst, but fled empty-handed after the gutsy teller refused to cooperate, authorities said Sunday.


The thief approached the worker in the Chase branch on 86th Street near 19th Avenue at 10:45 a.m. Saturday and demanded cash, police said.


She then passed a note that read, “Fill envelope with hundreds or I will shoot. You have 60 seconds,” according to cops.


The teller coolly called the crook’s bluff by refusing the demand, and the flustered woman ran off.


The robber wannabe was wearing a blue Yankees cap, a purple T-shirt and dark pants. She is believed to be in her 50s, about 5-9 and 160 pounds.




Police are offering a reward to help capture a killer.


The unsolved January homicide took the life of Gerard Grant, 23, who was executed with a shot to the head at Avenue I and East 16th Street, police said.


Grant died instantly, and a 24-year-old man was seriously wounded and left in critical condition in the shooting, authorities said.


The NYPD Police Foundation is offering $ 10,000, and CrimeStoppers is offering $ 2,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the killer.




Manhattan


A man plummeted to his death from a building in Washington Heights on Sunday, cops said.


The unidentified victim, believed to be in his 20s, was found behind an apartment building on Fort Washington Avenue near West 180th Street at around 1 a.m. with massive trauma to his head and body.


Investigators are trying to determine if he jumped, fell or was pushed.




Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found floating in the Hudson River near Greenwich Village.


The unidentified victim was fully clothed when a 911 caller reported him floating in the water near West 10th Street and the West Side Highway at around 11:25 a.m. Sunday, cops said.


The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit retrieved the body from the river and handed it over to the FDNY’s EMS.
