Happy Wednesday! An alleged gang member is charged with attempted murder, a man who urinated on religious statues is arrested, and prosecutors drop charges against a mother. Plus, Andrew Cuomo calls for a last-minute review of the L-train shutdown plans, a former Airbnb executive buys a pricey Cobble Hill home, and a Brooklyn Heights townhouse is sold for $11.75 million. Finally, a writer suggests eliminating the BQE, and we recommend the best donut shops in the city.
