103rd Precinct

INMATE RELEASED IN ERROR RECAPTURED: A 20-year-old Jamaica man who slipped out of jail on Sept. 30 is back behind bars – thanks to some eagle-eyed cops at the 103rd Precinct.

Kamar Reid was in a cell at Queens Central Booking at about 9 p.m. on Sept. 30, waiting for arraignment on criminal trespass charges, authorities said. When a police officer called out for prisoner Corinthian Wright, Reid slipped out instead – and the judge released him when attorneys failed to prosecute, authorities said.

Reid “booked it to the street,” an observer said. He was long gone before court personnel realized their mistake, authorities said.

Reid was picked up a few hours later by a pair of detectives at the 103rd Squad who spotted him at the corner of 165th Street and Jamaica Avenue.

Sgt. John Vitale and Police Officer Quang Dao, both assigned to the NYPD Queens Court Section, were suspended on Oct. 1 or their failure to secure Reid.

ANOTHER DEATH ON QUEENS BOULEVARD: A truck driver who suffered a heart attack while behind the wheel plowed into an Astoria woman crossing Queens Boulevard this week, marking the fifth death on that street this year, a city official said.

The Oct. 3 accident occurred on the “Boulevard of Death” at 33rd Street near the Long Island City Y-MCA where the victim, Mary Felleta, had just left. 

The driver, whose name was not released, suffered a heart attack and stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake, according to Department of Transportation spokesperson Tom Cocola.  No charges have been filed against the driver, who was removed to Elmhurst Hospital Center and listed in stable condition, a police official said.

Felleta, of 27th Street in Astoria, had just finished swimming at the LIC-Y according to the Membership Director Maria Tapia. News of the accident was hard to believe for those at the Y who had just seen Felleta walk out their doors.

“I heard there was an accident but I never imagined it was a member from here,” said Tapia.

110th Precinct

CHARGES PENDING IN ELMHURST SLAY: Police in Elmhurst are awaiting a determination by the City Medical Examiner before filing charges in the Sept. 27 death of a 73-year-old woman.

The victim was discovered dead in the home on 79th Street at about 3 p.m. by her daughter who lived with the woman and provided home care for her, investigators said.

The daughter, who returned from shopping to find her mother’s body, was held at the scene for questioning, police said.

LUMBER-JACKED: A flatbed truck carrying a load of lumber made a short turn from Queens Boulevard onto Grand Avenue on Sept. 29 – flipping its load and shutting down Grand Avenue for about two hours.

Police said the truck clipped a fire hydrant as it made the turn, causing the flatbed to tumble and spilling the lumber.

There were no injuries. No one was charged in the incident.

HUNT STABBER IN DEADLY DISPUTE: A 25-year-old Elmhurst man was listed in serious but stable condition at Elmhurst Hospital Center this week, after suffering critical stab wounds in an attack on Oct. 1.

Police said the victim was arguing with another man at about 12:30 in a commercial building at 86-22 Whitney Ave. when the man pulled a knife and stabbed the victim in the head. The assailant then fled the scene, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the 110th Precinct Squad at (718) 476-9317.

114th Precinct

HOMELESS TEENS CHARGED IN GAS STATION ASSAULT: Police arrested two homeless teenagers on Oct. 3, charged in the Oct. 1 near-death attack on a Woodside gas station attendant.

Investigators believed at first that Harjit Singh, 43, suffered multiple skull fractures during an attempted robbery at the station on 50th Street and Northern Boulevard.

Police said the suspects confronted Singh at the station because they believed he had made advances toward the 13-year- old girlfriend of one of the suspects.

Darryl Adams, 19, and Travis Adams, 16, told police they kicked Singh “a few times” when he fell to the ground during the attack. But doctors at Elmhurst Hospital Center said Singh suffered multiple skull fractures and bleeding on the brain – indicating a much more severe beating.

Singh was found unconscious at the station at about 1:30 a.m. by employees arriving for work, police said. He is listed in very critical condition at Elmhurst.

Charges in bat attack: Four Queens youths have been charged with attempted murder and other offenses in a baseball bat attack on a Douglaston street corner over the weekend that left three other youths hospitalized, one with critical brain injuries, District Attorney Richard Brown said.

Brown identified the defendants as Kevin Donaghy, 20, of Little Neck, David Raneri, 19, of Glen Oaks, Joseph McMahon, 18, of Douglaston and Alexander Nunez, 15, of Maspeth.

All four boys were charged with second degree attempted murder, first degree gang assault, first and second degree assault and fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon on Oct. 6. They face up to 25 years in prison each if convicted.

According to Brown, the incident took place on Oct. 4 at about 12:40 a.m. opposite 50-36 248th St. near Van Zandt Avenue at a park in Douglaston.

The four defendants – along with numerous other males, all carrying baseball bats in their hands – allegedly surrounded the victims and swung the baseball bats at them, Brown said.  

The three victims sustained serious head injuries in the attack. Gianfranco Scollo, 18, who underwent neurosurgery of the brain, remains in critical and unstable condition, Maurizio Scollo, 16, who sustained a displaced skull fracture, remains in critical but stable condition and Diego Vallejo, 16, who sustained soft tissue damage, lacerations, contusions, abrasion, swelling and substantial pain to his face and head remains hospitalized.

Although police said the attack was drug-related, they could not give any more information, and said an investigation is ongoing.
