Google Images
On Friday, January 6th around 1:00 pm. the armored truck pulled up outside of Chase Bank on 8th Avenue and 55th Street in Sunset Park. (Yahoo News)
The driver stayed in the truck. The News wrote that “his co-worker put the bag of cash on the bumper.” (Source)
Two crooks asked the driver for directions. A third guy, seen above, grabbed the bag and ran. This sounds like a scene out of a bad bank robbery movie!
Police wrote that he has a light complexion, he’s slim, has a black hat, black hooded jacket, gray pants and black sneakers.
Crime Stoppers 800-577-TIPS

RIP Norman Fruchter – Hit by a Car in Bay Ridge While Walking His Dog
On December 22nd at 10:15 pm, Norman Fruchter was hit by a vehicle on 68th Street and Bliss Terrace in Bay Ridge. (Source)
**Take Action for Norman – see here
Norman Frutcher was walking home from Owl’s Head Park, with his dog, when a Hyundai Elantra drove up the block in reverse and hit him. Frutcher lived on Bliss Terrace.
Norman was brought to the hospital with a serious head injury. He died in NYU Langone on January 4th.
Streetsblog wrote that someone saw the surveillance video and that not only did the driver drive in reverse, the drive also drove forward and hit Norman again. How awful! (Source)
Norman Fruchter was 85 years old. Norman was an educational equity leader and activist. His contributions to this city are written about in huge articles. (Here and here)
Not one leader in this community spoke out for Norman. Most of Bay Ridge doesn’t know this happened. We are getting information about our community from people outside of our community! (Streetsblog) Why do we elect people, who are unable to communitcate with and for the community?
Lev Fruchter just lost his father and he is speaking out because he doesn’t want it to happen to anyone else. (Source)
This story gets a lot sadder……Norman’s wife, Rachel Fruchter was killed by a reckless driver in Prospect Park twenty-five years ago, while riding her bicycle in Prospect Park. (Source)
RIP Norman. Prayers for Norman’s children, they deserved a better response from this city.
The police did not charge the driver who killed Norman – not even for driving up the block backwards! Norman’s children have had to go through both their parents being killed and no one being held responsible.
When Norman died, our elected leaders should have pushed the District Attorney, to charged the driver for reckless driving and negligence, which caused Norman Fruchter’s death.
Politicians aren’t doing their jobs and they are hiding the deaths of our neighbors. By December 23rd, everyone in our community should have been told about the accident.
Politicians are too concerned with making bills for lobbyists, rather than street justice! How does a person who has driven in reverse drive away from an accident?
American Traffic Solutions (the red light camera company that issues tickets) is winning in our community and throughout this city because politicians think technology will stop reckless driving. It isn’t doing anything, but making money for the city, for the company and the politicians who have accepted their donations. Streetsblog noted that there is not a crosswalk to help pedestrians
Streetsblog needs to adjust their thinking and stop “endorsing” candidates who are failing Brooklyn communities. (See here and here)

Take Action for Norman Fruchter, Who Was Hit By a Car in Bay Ridge
Norman Fruchter was hit by a car driving in reverse near Owl’s Head Park in Bay Ridge on December 22, 2022. (Info here)
Norman died from his injuries on January 4, 2023. The driver was never charged, even with reckless driving for driving backwards up the street. Norman’s death was caused by the negligence of this driver.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Our neighborhood has a lot of seniors and they should be able to walk around without being scared of reckless driving!
Please asked the Brooklyn District Attorney, Eric Gonzalez to charge the driver.
Eric Gonzalez’ Twitter: @BrooklynDA
Phone: 718-250-2340 Monday to Friday 9 am -5pm
Email: [email protected] (address was not on his website!)
This is the email I sent to the DA – feel free to copy some or all:
Dear Eric Gonzalez,
On December 22nd, an 85-year-old man, named Norman Fruchter was hit by a car in Bay Ridge. The driver drove backwards up the street and hit Norman. Norman died at NYU Hospital on January.
This morning, we read about this incident and we are shocked that the driver was not charged. This driver’s negligence and reckless driving caused Norman’s death.
Streetsblog says there is a video of this incident and Norman was hit a second time. (See here)
Politicians did not inform the community that this incident happened on 12/22 or that Norman had died on 1/4. We have elected leaders, who are more engaged with lobbyists, than the community.
Norman’s family just buried their father, but they wanted to make sure that no other people were hurt in our community. Reckless driving can not continue in a community with many seniors.
Please charge the driver with the appropriate charges immediately, DA Gonzalez. Brooklyn needs to set the tone because even our politicians think the rules of the road are a joke.
Thank you!

Daytime Robbery in Bay Ridge – Everyone Silent
A Staten Island reporter wrote that a 20-year-old woman in Bay Ridge was forced to take out $1000 from the bank on 5th Avenue and Bay Ridge Parkway. (See here)
This happened on December 31, 2022 at 1:00 pm.
Senator Gounardes didn’t address this robbery when he re-opened his office after vacation.
Councilman Brannan was also silent because putting his picture on another Councilman’s event flyer.
We need representatives who will take action for the community.

60th Precinct Had Trucks Cleared from Shell Road
The 60th Precinct clears the trucks from Shell Road when people report it. Here in Bay Ridge, people complain and the 68th Precinct does not clear the trucks. We shouldn’t see any of trucks in our neighborhood – they need to go to designated spots to park.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh there are no spots here for them? Yes, that’s correct – this is a residential area!
They can rent parking from the city if they need a spot. Where? A good place to go would be behind Industry City – remember where they dumped the people who died from Covid-19?

Will Jessica Scarcella Spanton, the New NYS Senator for Staten Island Help Home Owners?
Before becoming Senator in Staten Island and Brooklyn, Jessica Scarcella Spanton worked for former senator, Diane Savino.
Savino is best known for her support of legalizing marijuana.
Savino is also known for being the tail of the former IDC. The IDC was a group of terrible senators who were voted in as Democrats, but voted with Republicans.
Due to redistricting, District 23 looks like this. Hopefully, Scarcella Spanton won’t be one more politician, who is going to ignore problems in Brooklyn.
While Jessica Scarcella Spanton is a home owner in Staten Island, her husband is in the military so her property taxes are under $2000.
Sadly, Scarcella Spanton has NOTHING about property taxes on her campaign website, even though most Staten Island politicians (Democrat or Republican) will tell you it is a main problem for Staten Island.
Scarcella Spanton praised Hakeem Jeffries on social media (here), but Jeffries pays only $200 a year in property taxes. (See article) Do you see why we don’t have fighters for the people here? Jeffries was awful to Mathylde Frontus as well, so Scarcella Spanton doesn’t seem to know who was fighting for Brooklyn.
Jessica Scarcella Spanton wrote on her campaign site that she would help new home owners. That’s a nice thing for a politician to write, but new home owners will be smacked with $10,000+ property taxes each year.
NYS Legislatures, like Andrew Gounardes and Mathylde Frontus voted to legalized weed, without doing the work in figuring out how this bill would affect communities.
Captain Tolson said there were over 20 smoke shops in the 68th Precinct, but the law did not state was unclear whose supposed to be monitoring this. *It can’t be another job for the NYPD.
This week coming will show us what Jessica Scarcella Spanton is made of.
Legislation needs to be introduced early if it is to be heard during the 5 months If legislation isn’t introduced, we’ll know she is a cog of the broken system.
Stay tuned!

Esteban Rivera is Missing From Brooklyn – Please Share His Photo
Esteban Rivera, a 12-year-old boy is missing from Bay 20th Street in Bath Beach.
Esteban Rivera is feet, 2 inches tall and 120 pounds.
He has brown eyes and black hair.
He was last seen wearing a navy blue uniform shirt and pants and black sneakers.
I’m surprised his picture has barely been shared, usually parents do a good job sharing a missing child’s pic. Please share his pic if you can.
Submit tips to police 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
