Precinct 28

Yesterday the woman who punched another dog owner several weeks ago hit someone at the dog run again, according to a witness. The woman owns a brindle boxer.

The dog is aggressive and, while I don't know of her actually injuring another dog, she frequently attacks other dogs. She has twice pinned my dog and needed to be pulled off by a human. When this happens, the owner's response, at best, is to sit on a bench yelling her dog's name.

When people say something to the owner, she responds with profanity, aggressiveness, and, in at least two cases, physical assault.

The police have been called twice in response. The first time they did nothing. The second time, the woman ran to her building nearby, and I don't know whether the police found her. They also likely did not know that she had done this before.

My 24 year old son and his girlfriend were verbally abused outside a deli/bodega type store ON Broadway between Tieman Place and LaSalle street at about 2:00a.m. sunday morning. The late teen to 20 something group of about 5 men then assaulted and beat my son. A police report was filed and he was taken to a local hospital by ambulance. He had many cuts and bruises as well as two very large lumps on his head. He suffered a concussion and his jaw and neck were badly bruised and sore.
He is awaiting further follow up from the 26th precinct, as of today we have had no additional communication from the police dept. The "deli" did not call 911 for him or offer any help even though he had just exited their store AND this all took place literally within their eyesight as they have a large glass window in front. This was totally unprovoked and these men were strangers to him and his date.
The 28th precinct took the complaint but it must be transferred to the 26th precinct because the location of the assault was within their jurisdiction. Has anyone had a similar experience? What happens next? How do I handle my son's mixed emotions?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any enlightenment you might provide.

We are looking to assemble a crew of volunteers willing to work in Morningside Park for a few hours on Saturday mornings over the next five weeks. The park needs your help, especially in spring.

If we have enough people, we will be meeting at the TOP of the 113 stairs, which are just south of the pond, and will work from 10-1. If you can only give a little less time, that's okay too. We need YOU!

Gardening experience is not required. You can also bring your children, but be aware that we are working with sharp tools and moving heavy objects. Please wear long pants or tall socks and full shoes or sneakers. Bring water. We will provide gloves.

apparently it's now acceptable to loiter, urinate, & smoke crack & drink liquor in front of an abandoned bldg.... cop car rolls up, officers don't even get out, allow the 3 individuals, 1 of whom proceeded to urinate directly against the wall of the building while he watched me walk down toward him while i was trying to get home.

really? i'm guessing since this isn't iphone crime, it's not worth the actual effort of getting out of a car. clearly no one lives in the bldg, although people have been living on the stoop, dumping piles of clothes, trash,mattresses,liquor bottles,lighters,human poop,urine...you know, just like home...

i'd like to thank the 28 for helping to keep the quality of life barometer pathetically LOW.
