Police Blotter: Thistle Hill Tavern Robbed by Booze-Thirsty Bandit

The following information comes from police reports from the 72nd Precinct of the NYPD. It does not indicate a conviction.

Stairwell Assault

A 21-year-old man was assaulted in the stairwell of his Windsor Terrace apartment building on Nov. 28.

According to police, an argument between the victim and the perp, who were familiar with each other prior to the incident, broke out on the stairs outside the victim's 17th Street apartment around 10:37 a.m.

The argument escalated and the suspect, identified by police as 25-year-old Domingo Sosa, allegedly used a kitchen knife to slash the victim twice on his left hand. 

Police apprehended Sosa on the scene. He is being charged with felony assault. 

Thistle Hill Tavern Robbed

A Thistle Hill Tavern employee is suspected of stealing two bottles of liquor from the restaurant's bar, police say.

A manager at the restaurant called police on Nov. 30 after noticing that two bottles of Jim Beam and Maker's Mark were missing.

Surveillance cameras reveal footage of a man identified as one of the restaurant's employees making off with the alcohol. 

Police say the perp may have entered the restaurant through an unlocked kitchen window. 

Hit and Run

A perp fled the scene after sideswiping a 40-year-old woman's parked car on Nov. 22 on Prospect Park Southwest near 16th Street. 

Though the victim was not present at the time of the incident, there was one witness who identified the offending car as a black 2010 Ford Edge sedan.  

The helpful bystander called the police after watching the perp drive off without stopping. 

Another Hit and Run

A 36-year-old Windsor Terrace man returned to his car, parked near the corner of 7th Avenue and Prospect Avenue, around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday to find that it had apparently been hit by another car that fled the scene. 

There were no witnesses at the time of the incident.
