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.
