Perp Arrested for Stealing and Crashing Into Vehicle

By Idy Perl

A man in Boro Park went looking by 16th Avenue and 65th Street to pick up someone to help him with some physical labor.

When he arrived, a person standing there choked the driver in the car. The driver jumped out of the vehicle, and the perp wildly drove off with the vehicle.

At 16th Avenue and 53rd Street he crashed into another vehicle and caused an accident, which alerted a passing Shomrim member. The Shomrim volunteer saw the man get out of the car and start to run away, so he quickly started running after him and caught him. 

The NYPD arrived on the scene and arrested the perp.
