Attempted Mugging on President Street
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A young woman on her way to work this morning was accosted by a large Black male who tried to steal her phone. The incident took place at around 8:30am on President Street between Brooklyn and New York Avenues, where the perpetrator approached her, blocked her path and demanded her phone.
She immediately began calling for help and fled, the perp did not follow. The perp was described to be in his early 20’s and heavyset. Following the incident the woman called 911 to file a police report and after waiting for an extended period of time she left the scene without filing a police report.
Filing a police report following an incident is imperative, without it it’s like the crime never happened. If you do not have the time to wait for police, walk into the precinct and ask them to file a report there.
In case of an emergency never hesitate to call 911 and Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7
sick of it
once again, crime is down in the neighborhood, nothing filed so it never happened and the 71st precinct is doing a great job.

1.She can still do that: if she’s angry/scared/upset enough she should march into the 71st precinct & demand (DEMAND) to be helped by a senior officer. Don’t let them intimidate you & put you off…you have rights, not just the criminals!
I did that & it really worked! The lazy bums are just looking to avoid paperwork. Well, too bad! That’s what we pay them for!
2. 71st precinct meeting TOMORROW NIGHT, open to ALL RESIDENTS @ the public school corner NY/EMPIRE…7:30 PM.
We should show up IN FORCE. Bring your husbands, wives, adult kids, neighbors, anyone who will make an orderly presence. Speak clearly, respectfully, make your point/ask your question QUICKLY (no rambling or you’ll be cut off.)
It may help to write down in advance what you want to say, and make notes if you want to respond to any comments.
One last thing…WE ARE YIDDEN & MUST BEHAVE ACCORDINGLY!!
PLEASE….SHOW UP!! The only change we’ll see is if we bring it about ourselves!!

chaim
you guys make it sound so easy dealing with the cops
i myself had an emergance like this one some time ago and waited and waited for them to come but couldnt wait anymore
looking and the statistics how many things were returned after being stolen, you think to yourself "i lost it anyway and the chances of getting it back are slim, why should i waist my time……"
in addition after so many years we are still urging the community members to undersatnd that it is so very important to file a police report……
tell me guys, is it really helping and or working?
i know some of you that are involved with the police or the shmirah will be upset to what i am writting but with no offence what so ever to anyone, and all the time and effort you put into working with them
the attidude and compasion from the police stinks and its not helping the community anyway
yes you might think well look and 6 months ago when we had muggings etc. look at 18 months ago…. and the police took care of it and it stops
yes i agree it did stop, but the question is why did it start again, and big time one after the other, every two days we hear something happened in all parts of c.h.
may hashem have pity on us and help us in this and all other problems in the community
with the coming of moshiach speedily in our days

Something needs to be done. We always say that, but we need to call someone, complain to someone, organize a gathering, call the press.
What are we doing other then reading these stories and shaking out heads. Tomorrow it could be YOU. Yesterday it was almost me.
concerned
okay…so maybe she shouldn’t have been on president between brooklyn and new york at 8:30am for all of you who excuse the increasing violence by blaming the victims!!!! wake up, it’s not safe on any block at any time. do something or we should all move out of the neighborhood.
It-s broken, fix it!
Where is our police protection? Are our elected representatives – Rubashkin, Lang, Sperlin, Plotkin & Nash doing anything at all to improve the deteriorating public safety situation here. Where are the NYPD patrols walking & rolling? Why is there usually a faster response to complaints in the 77 than in the 71? Is Jeff "Yankel" Wice our representative in Councilperson James office doing anything to hgelp alleviate this situation?
Soon it will be time for us to take to the streets.
shocked in CH

I am chocked! What a chutzpa! Of course file a police report! This is maamesh CRAZY!
