Two teenagers mugged a teenager who was walking alone on the Prospect Expressway bridge at Fort Hamilton Parkway a few afternoons ago. They punched him in the face, choked him, and robbed him of the cell phone that was in his pocket.
They're shown on the Wanted poster above for assaulting a transit worker in The Bronx in June by punching him in the face and throwing a bottle at him. The MTA has distributed the posters widely throughout the subway system.
On Fort Hamilton Parkway, from the corner of E. 5th Street by the dog run and across the bridge to the bottom of the pedestrian footpath where Ocean Parkway meets E. 7th Street, two thefts, one assault, and three robberies have been reported to the police so far this year, according to CompStat 2.0.

The NYPD officers--or Neighborhood Coordination Officers--who patrol Windsor Terrace will meet with residents and business owners on September 27th to discuss neighborhood safety. This is a good place to ask questions, express your concerns, and make requests.
The meeting will be held at Immaculate Heart of Mary Rectory, 2805 Fort Hamilton Parkway, between E. 5th and E. 4th streets. Link to a KARMABrooklyn blog post here for more information.
