Crime Alert: Mugging and Rape on Gates
This just in from a reader whose doorbell was rung by the cops at 2 a.m. last night: “There was a mugging on Irving and Gates @ 1 AM and then a rape in the same area between 5-6 AM this morning. Seems like it was the same guy from the Classon and Fulton one…
This just in from a reader whose doorbell was rung by the cops at 2 a.m. last night: “There was a mugging on Irving and Gates @ 1 AM and then a rape in the same area between 5-6 AM this morning. Seems like it was the same guy from the Classon and Fulton one a few days back.” You can see the Wanted poster here.

I’ve been down Downing st a few times and it always seemed reasonably nice. The houses are in good repair for the most part and I never felt unsafe. That part of putnam leaves some to be desired, but again, I didn’t feel unsafe.
“bad couple of WEEKS around here. Between this and the shootings. This is pretty close to home. I called Leticia James’ office about the shootings (5 in 2 weeks)”
Anything written up on the shootings? I’d be interested to know where exactly they occured.
serpentor, i heard the gunshots last night from near classon & lafayette. they sounded very close. nothing at all happened afterward, though – not a single siren or anything. it was the weirdest thing!
Noki, these are blocks are better than it looks. I’ve looked at maybe 10 houses within 1 or 2 block radius from this and never felt unsafe. they’re just not pretty looking blocks that the $1M+ prices would imply it should be

Wasder, I would not hesitate to buy in the blocks past grand ave, in stuy heights, in crown heights north,…. but not at these high prices when retail services, schools, etc. are not yet there to justify the prices. 1.395M is a lot of money and one should expect more at that price.
My brother lives just a couple of blocks from there. Makes me nervous. I know, I know, crime happens all over and all that, but gun-wielding, stalking, raping sociopaths on the loose set my hair on end.
Crime rush and hiring freeze. How do you think that’ll work out?
Last ask or today’s ask?

What is the freakin deal with Clinton Hill? It seems like every few months there is an insane crime spree. Remember the Pratt student who got his head bashed in? Terrible.
Instead of complaining about this part of Clinton Hill – why don’t we think of ways of making sure all of Clinton Hill is safe. If you’re a resident of Clinton Hill it doesn’t matter if only “parts” of Clinton Hill are safe – it is going to affect you too!
