attack-1108.jpgSomething went down by the fountain near Borough Hall last night, reports McBrooklyn. Apparently someone was attacked “with a heavy object” which police were searching for by flashlight. The man accused of perpetrating the crime was sitting, handcuffed, in the bus shelter, and the victim taken away by ambulance (see photo). Anybody know more?

  1. I know I’ll regret this but…..

    Why would crime be any more “unreported” now vs. last year at this time (or any other period).

    If anything you have to assume that crime is more under-reported during periods of high crime, since victims will likely figure that less can be done.

    Therefore, even if you assume that NYPD crime stats are only 25% of the total number of crimes really taking place in each category – since there is no more incentive now to not-report or mis-label (by NYPD) crimes then at any other period during the last 15 years – their is ZERO evidence anywhere (and from any reliable source) that shows crime increasing – (albeit their has been a slight increase in homicides this year but still at amazingly low numbers – and its tough to fudge homicide statistics)

  2. “The stats of NYPD is very misleading because some crimes do not get reported.”

    Yeah, that’s a brand new phenomenon of the MAB. It never happened in the past.

  3. “Where is the king of the asshats? The one known as The What?”

    Right here Baby Boy! I see a transformation happing here at Brownstoner. The tone is very negative! Maybe Brownstoner see that the Mutant Asset Bubbles has collapsed.

    What happen here is no big deal but there is a surge of crime going on. The stats of NYPD is very misleading because some crimes do not get reported.

    I hope you (Asshats) will be able to withstand the return to the good ole days of New York!

    The What

    someday this war is gonna end…

  4. alsawo – “There have been a number of muggings around that area in the past few weeks too, and while I don’t have the facts in front of me….”

    Isnt that the point???? There are ALWAYS muggings and robberies….2.5M people live in Brooklyn….the only relevance is if they are in FACT happening more frequently – which you (or Brownstomner) apparently do not have the facts to support (and which the NYPD statistic seem to refute)

    I am not saying that occasionally you don’t have a crime of such violence or with an interesting storyline to make it noteworthy, but this post just appears to be motivated to introduce fear.

  5. I for one do find this interesting and significant. There have been a number of muggings around that area in the past few weeks too, and while I don’t have the facts in front of me, I remember reading that these indicents are happening much more frequently in BH than in past years.
