Photo by Mark Mellone Woman rear-ends a police cruiser on Knapp Street BY JULIANNE CUBA An allegedly overtired driver rear-ended a police car on Knapp Street on July 29, police said. The 27-year-old woman was driving home when she told police she fell asleep at the wheel at about 6 am and couldn’t hit the brakes fast enough before slamming into the back of the 61st Precinct four- wheeler parked near Emmons Avenue, according to authorities.

The mask-wearing malefactor MAX fl ed on foot towards Avenue O with about $1,500 in his pockets, offi cials said.
