Two muggers robbed a man at gunpoint outside his Kips Bay apartment building early Friday, Âpolice said. The victim was parking his car steps from his front door on East 30th Street near Park Avenue South at 3:30 a.m. when two men, one armed with a silver pistol, approached, sources said. The stickup artists swiped the victim’s watch, phone and wallet, authorities said.
An allegedly boozed-up driver plowed through a lane of the Holland Tunnel closed for maintenance and slammed into a speed-restriction sign before giving himself up in New Jersey, authorities said. Willi Adames, 26, drove his black 2005 Lincoln through the closed westbound lane of the tunnel from the Manhattan side at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, sending workers jumping out of his way, a Port Authority Police Department spokesman said. After the Lincoln toppled the speed-restriction sign and kept going, the workers radioed the PAPD, which set up to intercept Adames on the Jersey City side, officials said. But when PAPD cop Rhett Peppi saw the Lincoln approaching and ordered Adames to pull over, the allegedly sloshed motorist kept going — with a traffic cone lodged in the bumper, a cracked windshield and a flat rear tire, the PAPD said. Adames finally came to a stop near the Routes 1 and 9 entrance ramp, where Peppi noticed the car’s air bags had been deployed and Adames reeked of Âalcohol, officials said. Adames told the cop he was going to stop at the nearest gas station, but had no answer when Peppi pointed out Adames had passed eight before reaching the on-ramp. The Brooklyn resident bombed on a Breathalyzer test and was hit with a slew of charges including DWI and leaving the scene of an accident.
