Cops arrest two perps on assault and weapons charges
Police officers from the 72nd Precinct nabbed a pair of suspected perps, catching one of them after he tossed his gun onto the roof of a building adjacent to a Sunset Park church.
The arrest occurred in the wake of an assault on a 21-year-old man eating at the Subway restaurant near Fourth Avenue and 24th Street on April 4 at approximately 7:26 p.m.
Cops say that three male perps approached the victim, slapping him several times in an unsuccessful effort to grab his backpack, while one of them motioned towards a gun located under his clothing. They then fled the restaurant, but quickly returned, punching the victim in the face when they saw him call 911.
