78 PCT BLOTTER Slashes her on 9th St. By Deborah Kolben The Brooklyn Papers A waitress leaving work in the early morning hours of July 3 was attacked by a suitor as she changed trains at the Fourth Avenue and Ninth Street station. The woman left the Sunset Park restaurant where she was work- ing and boarded the R train at the 45th Street station at 4:15 am. She noticed that a man had followed her from the restaurant into the subway and onto a train. When she got up to leave the train at Fourth Avenue and Ninth Street, the stranger followed. He approached her on the platform of the F train upstairs, and when she turned down his advances, the man pulled out a green box-cutter and slashed her hand, police said. Weed whacker A man police say was smoking marijuana in J.J. Byrne Park on Fifth Avenue must have never heard Bob Dylan’s cry, “Everybody must get stoned.” When a fellow toker approached him in the park near Third Street on June 29 and asked the man if he would share his weed, the sus- pect’s response was anything by cordial. In fact, the 54-year-old sus- pect pulled out a knife and cut the man’s right ring finger, police said. Police arrived and placed the man under arrest at 8:30 pm. He was charged with assault, menacing and harassment. The weapon was not recovered, according to the criminal complaint report. Cheesy thief There was no cheese in his pocket when he entered the Pathmark on 12th Street and Second Avenue, say police. So when a man tried to leave the big supermarket with a wedge of mild cheddar tucked into his back pocket, a security guard took notice. The guard went to question the alleged dairy smuggler about his pasteurized booty, but the suspect declared himself off limits. “You can’t do anything to me. I’m outside the store,” he said be- fore pushing the guard. The guard grabbed the suspect anyway and held him until police arrived. The 32-year-old suspect from Carroll Gardens was placed under arrest and charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree. The incident took place on June 30 at 6:15 pm. Pathmark lift II On July 2, yet another shopper at the same Pathmark was head- ing out the door without paying for her goods at 9 pm when a secu- rity guard tried to stop her, say police. But the woman fought back, pushing the guard to the ground and trying to flee. Police arrested the 54-year old woman, who had al- legedly tried to steal $230 worth of groceries.

Asked about political experience, Shaw confesses to having none before noting that he was president of his old co-op board on the Upper West Side for three years. It may seem practical to seek a lower office first, but the plucky Sloper says he’s ready to jump right in.

qualified,” said Shaw. Maybe not, but it does make their campaigns a whole lot easier. “Since he doesn’t come from politics, unless he won the Mega Millions lottery he’s not likely to have the resources needed to mount the kind of campaign necessary,” said political consultant Gerry O’Brien. Shaw plans to file with the Campaign Finance Board later this month, but until then refuses to reveal the contents of his coffers. He needs 7,500 signatures to secure a spot on the ballot. Shaw’s still not sure exactly who will carry his petitions (only that his wife will not) and he still hasn’t quite worked out his game plan for reaching out to local Republican clubs, although he is a member of the Young Republicans. Asked about supporting Shaw, Hy Singer, chairman of the Kings County Republican Party said, “I don’t even know the guy … If he wants to run for mayor it’s a free country, my best wishes to him, but I don’t know anything about him.” Sitting in the garden of his two-bedroom brownstone apartment just off Prospect Park West, wearing a button-down blue shirt and a pair of gray slacks, Shaw balks when a reporter insinuates this is not a winnable race. “I totally disagree,” says the Pennsylvania native, whose grandfa- ther once held office in the Keystone State — as a Democrat, that is. In fact, Shaw hails from a family of staunch Democrats in Allen- town, Pa. Did he switch parties just for the race? Shaw says that is not the case and explains that he was a regis- tered independent for years before moving to the Republican Party a few years back. “It’s the party my beliefs aligned with the most,” he said. As a student at Penn State University, where he majored in eco- nomics and commercial recreation and tourism, Shaw says he was not involved in politics. Immediately after graduation he moved to New York and started working for Bear, Stearns & Co. Last year he decided to run for mayor. Angels don’t need health coverage. Your child does.
