Crime bites
Two women robbed a 33-year-old man near the southeast corner of Greenwich and Horatio Sts. on Fri., Nov. 6, according to police. The perpetrators reportedly approached the victim at about 3:30 a.m. They forcibly removed the man’s wallet, containing $250 cash. When he tried to get it back, one of the women bit him. A police report did not state the extent of the victim’s injuries.
Police arrested Anne Marie Kerr, 39, and Antoinette Davis, 32, and charged them with felony robbery.
Bleecker beating
Police said that a man, 46, went on a jealous rage on Sun., Nov. 8, and hit his girlfriend at about 2 a.m. inside their 88 Bleecker St. home. The 41-year-old woman, who was apparently struck multiple times, was left with a bruised left eye, swollen lip and a crimson right arm and back. A police report did not state a possible motive.
Jerry Brost was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault.
Name game fails
A 53-year-old man gave a fake name during a traffic stop at W. Third St. and Sixth Ave. Police said the man failed to signal for a turn around 12:30 p.m. When an officer approached the vehicle, the driver said he did not have ID. The officer warned him three times to state his real name before running a background check on the purported “Paul Nsiah.”
Police soon identified him as Olasunkanmi Famakinde and found he had been arrested six previous times for driving with a suspended license. Famakinde was charged with false personation, a misdemeanor.
Chippy on Charles St.
A middle-aged woman left a younger woman with a swollen face after an argument on Fri., Nov. 6, police said. The older woman reportedly gave the victim a fist sandwich at about 12:50 a.m. before fleeing the scene near the southwest corner of Greenwich and Charles Sts. A police report did not state a motive for the attack or whether the two knew each other.
Police took the victim to the Sixth Precinct stationhouse where she refused medical attention. They tracked the alleged suspect down at the intersection of Hudson and Charles Sts. and arrested Diana Taylor, 47, charging her with misdemeanor assault.
