The police are searching for a man who entered into the Citibank ATM vestibule Monday and demand the victim provide him cash.

The 32-year victim was withdrawing money at the ATM at 1 Court Square at about 4:15 am when a man– holding a pink stocking with a brick inside it—-demanded cash.

The victim refused to hand over money and the suspect swung the stocking with brick inside at the victim striking him in the head. The suspect fled without any proceeds. The victim refused medical attention.

The police described the suspect as a male, white-Hispanic, approximately 5’ ”8” and 230bls.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

Was he holding a “pink stocking with a brick inside it” or was he holding a brick with a pink stocking around it?

If you get cleaned out at Show Palace

Maybe wait until the sun comes back up before withdrawing money?

Definitely wait for the sun to come back up before withdrawing money. Or find a drug dealer that takes debit. I dunno.

Not Mohawk- just someone who likes to leave anonymous veiled racist comments on news stories.
In Latino communities what is considered ‘white’ is far more variable then our black/white dichotomy in the USA and police reports reflect that.
DNA-wise very few of us are ‘white.’

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
