One Arrest for Hit and Run in Crown Heights
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 7:45pm: Shmira received a call from a witness that an elderly man was hit by a car on the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and Crown Street. The caller stated that as he was passing by that corner he was flagged down by an African American in a blue convertible who told him what had transpired and pointed out the car, a black Acura. Seeing the elderly man on the ground the passerby took off after the Acura Chasing it until the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and Rutland Road where he managed to cut him off blocking his way. Another Good Samaritan helped by blocking the car from the rear.
Shmira members responded to both locations. When the first unit arrived on Crown and Brooklyn the he found the victim sitting on the side of a garden insisting that he was OK. The Shmira member, not wanting to take chances called Hatzalah to ensure he was really fine. Hatzalah arrived on scene, treated the victim and decided to transport him to Kings County Hospital to run some tests and insure that everything was fine.
Police Officers on the scene began to question the witnesses. The witness that was in the blue convertible gave the Officers a description of the car and its license plate number. The Officers communicated the information to the Officers who were on Rutland Road the officers, seeing that the plate number was a match, arrested the driver of the Acura.

Wow you guys are great, by having units on both sides of crown heights one is that helping the old man and calling hatzholo and not letting kingsbrook ambulance transporting and letting the yidden transport the seconded thing is that you where waiting by brooklyn and rutland for the police to arrest the guy and getting things under control.
and once again guys just keep it up and do great work and don’t over heat from the weather.
