When Alvarez asked what was inside the box, Luis Peroza allegedly handed it off to another man, and threatened to kill Alvarez, police said.He was randomly attacked around 3 a.m. Tuesday by a stranger who asked him if he wanted to buy a package he was carrying, cops said.
When Alvarez asked what was inside the box, the perp handed it off to another man — and threatened to kill the elderly man, police said. “They had soda. They wanted to sell it to me. I said no. One punched my head and my chest. One-handed [the soda] to the other guy, ‘Hold this, I’m going to kill this guy,’” Alvarez recalled Thursday, adding, “I couldn’t believe it.”William Farrington
Alvarez, who also had his jaw dislocated, said the beating never would’ve happened if there were more cops patrolling the neighborhood.“There is a lot of crime because there are not enough police. We used to have police on foot patrol, walking up and down. No more,” Alvarez added. “Today we informed Ray that we identified and apprehended the perpetrator responsible for this heinous crime. Special thanks to Warrants Section, 9th Detective Squad, and Intelligent Division,” the 9th Precinct
