According to authorities, Pawel Garwarski, 26, struck the 35-year-old male in the face with an object during a physical altercation outside a deli at the corner of Fresh Pond Road and Madison Street at about 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 15. The man’s head struck the pavement as he fell to the ground, police noted, causing a skull fracture and bleeding on the brain. Following the assault, Garwarski allegedly fled from the scene southbound on Fresh Pond Road to Gates Avenue. Paramedics brought the 35-year-old man to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition. Following an investigation, the 104th Precinct Detective Squad charged Garwarski on Nov. 16 on multiple charges of assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He remains held in jail on $250,000 bail following arraignment, according to court records. ‘Emotionally disturbed’ man caused three-hour standoff in Maspeth Part of Maspeth became a frozen zone on Nov. 19 as police engaged in a standoff with an emotionally disturbed man who barricaded himself inside his house, it was reported. Officers from the 104th Precinct were called to the home on 52nd Avenue between 73rd and 74th streets at about 2:10 p.m. after receiving a 911 call regarding the disturbed individual who refused to leave the premises. Police did not immediately disclose the possible reason for the disturbance. Authorities sealed off the block and surrounding streets as a precaution to guard the public against any possible violence. The standoff continued for three hours until, at about 5:15 p.m., police took the 68-year-old man into custody. He was brought to Elmhurst Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. No weapons were recovered at the scene, and no other injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing. Two officers injured in fire at Ridgewood apartment building Two police officers were hospitalized after getting residents out of a burning building in Ridgewood on Nov. 21, according to the 104th Precinct. Police Officers Jimmy Vincent and Mark Collins responded to a residential fire at 64-06 Madison St. — a three-floor residential building with six apartments — at about 11:20 a.m. on Nov. 21, police said. Authorities said Vincent and Collins were the first on the scene and noticed flames coming out of a thirdfloor window. The officers safely evacuated the entire building and rescued an elderly, wheelchair-bound male from a second-floor apartment. All residents were evacuated safely without injuries at the time, police stated. Both Vincent and Collins were removed to the hospital after suffering from smoke inhalation. Both are expected to make a full recovery. The fire is not believed to be suspicious, but an investigation is ongoing. Two NYPD detectives from Queens save tourist’s life in Los Angeles: DA In the city of movie stars, two detectives played the role of the heroes. Detectives Albert Ramos and Daniel Mulligan, both assigned to the NYPD Queens District Attorney’s Unit, saved a Russian tourist from a knife attack on Nov. 18 while he was walking on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. “The detectives are real-life superheroes,” Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said. “Even though they were outside of their jurisdiction, the detectives did not hesitate to act.” Ramos and Mulligan were grabbing a coffee when they saw a man attacking the tourist with a knife and cutting the right side of his neck, authorities said. The two detectives swiftly came to the tourist’s aid and apprehended the attacker. They identified themselves as police officers and called 911 for further assistance. The suspect, a 51-year-old homeless man, was identified as Donald Monroe Offerman; he was charged with attempted murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The victim was taken to Cedar Sinai Hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. “Ramos and Mulligan embodied the highest ideals of the NYPD,” said Police Commissioner William Bratton, who previously was the LAPD police commissioner between 2002 and 2009. “Their swift and decisive action almost certainly saved a life.” Jamaica man steals late dad’s retirement cash, leaves body in morgue A Queens man was sentenced on Nov. 17 for hiding his father’s death while he collected his dad’s retirement payments, authorities said. According to State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, Christopher Bunn of Jamaica left his father’s body in a Nassau County morgue for more than a year while he collected $7,542 in pension payments and $17,790 in social security payments, which were being deposited electronically into his father’s checking account. The 49-year-old — who pleaded guilty in October to grand larceny and petit larceny — was sentenced to time served and full restitution, which he paid on Nov. 17 in Queens County Supreme Court. “This case is a warning to anyone attempting to steal state pension funds,” DiNapoli said. “We are tracking you and you will be prosecuted.”
