"Since its inception in the 1830s, the Sun has chronicled crime in the mean streets of the City that Never Sleeps, and to this day, the police blotter - or its digital equivalent - offers fascinating snapshots into lives gone wrong in the myriad neighborhoods of the five boroughs. Our aim here is to chronicle the more curious criminal incidents across New York City that, with local news coverage in retreat, may not otherwise come under a spotlight."
"The 76-year-old man, who is an accomplished art historian with direct lineage to a prominent New York family, was nabbed inside the transportation hub loo on August 20. A witness will have a hard time unseeing the senior "swing his body back and forth with his penis", according to the criminal complaint. The man also saw him "stroke" his appendage in an "up and down... in a manner consistent with masturbation, in plain view"."
Police blotters have chronicled crimes in New York City since the 1830s and continue to offer snapshots of incidents across the five boroughs. Arrests reported in the blotter do not constitute guilt and the items represent what is known at the time; charges may be reduced or withdrawn. In Midtown Manhattan, a 76-year-old man with ties to a prominent New York family was arrested on August 20 at Penn Station after a witness reported public masturbation, and he faces lewdness and exposure charges. Attempts to reach him were unsuccessful and a younger relative expressed surprise. In Crown Heights, a suspect told police he would not stop pursuing a woman and said he did not care about being reported.
