Robbery on 19th

Got this from another neighborhood group:

Monday eve at about 10pm, my boyfriend took his two dogs out for a final evening walk. On his block, 19th street btw 5th and 6th Ave, a crazy, intoxicated man approached him with a very large gun. The man said he needed money to feed his family and was desperate. Boyfriend said the man was very high. He told him that he'd just taken the dogs out for a walk and did not have his wallet or cash on him. The perp then directed him back into his apartment, with gun pointed at all times, and had him hand over all his cash, two bottle of booze he saw in the closet and his cell phone. Fortunately, boyfriend remained calm and was able to reason with him. He gave him what he wanted and the guy stumbled off without anyone getting hurt.

All of it is very scary but this guy was really nuts to approach a big man with two large dogs. (He didn't know they were cream puffs from CT!)

Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing to warn people in that part of the nabe.

The cops said that things were not getting better but worse in the area.

Very scary. Stay safe all.
