Boro Park Shomrim received a call on Thursday to report that a man driving a peculiar bicycle on New Utrecht Avenue and 58th Street had just brandished a handgun. The NYPD was called, but the man had left the area by the time they responded to the scene. Boro Park Shomrim then contacted Crown Heights Shomrim to let them know that the man was heading in their direction. The Crown Heights area police department was notified as well.
The suspect was followed by Shomrim from a distance until he reached the Crown Heights area. The NYPD’s 71 Precinct stopped the man at Washington Avenue and President Street, where he was searched. The man was found to have a fake handgun in his possession, and was subsequently arrested.
The suspect, who has not been named, was charged with brandishing a firearm. He appears to be a Hispanic male in his 40’s.
The NYPD’s hate Crimes Unit will be investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

Sad, somebody having a public nervous breakdown on every thread now
No worries de blasio hacks like pinny ringel and avi fink will put out press statements and nypd pigs wont take seriously and da gonzalez only cares about illegals which this perp was. Dont worry we have a bunch of a affirmative action folks in charge now harrison and a latino.
Unlike the shvarztas in jersey city or crown hieghts this is not systematic among Latino’s. And I don’t anticipate other latino’s cheeeirng them on like the shvartza chaliiria’s did.
It’s a shame he didn’t pull the fake gun out on someone that was carrying a real one. This low life would have been put out of his misery 🙂
