NYPD DAILY BLOTTER
BROOKLYN
*** A patron at a Brownsville bodega was arrested after he threatened to slash the face of a counterman who forgot to toast his sandwich bread, authorities charged.
Police say Pius Oculi, 38, initially confronted Abdalah Salah Wednesday afternoon inside 939 Utica Ave. and became enraged, cursed, threw the food on the floor and pulled the knife when the untoasted lunch was served and it cost 50 cents more than he’d thought it would.
The next day, Oculi returned to buy another sandwich and a cigar but Sala asked him to leave. The rebuff prompted another knife threat and rant that ended with cops being called. The action was captured on video.
Oculi was charged with menacing, harassment and weapons possession.

“Don’t leave me in this house alone and hungry choosing your friends over me,” she reportedly said.
She then lunged at his neck, and the two tussled as he headed to the bedroom to grab some belongings before leaving.
“You’re not taking anything out the house,” she declared before punching him in the face, throwing a basket at him, biting his finger, grabbing knife and threatening to stab him, cops said.
Pierre was hit with assault, menacing, harassment and weapons charges.
*** A construction worker was arrested for beating a Greenpoint homeowner who came out of his house to complain that debris was being tossed on his property, cops said.

Police said the victim was initially beaten with a piece of wood and then slammed across the back with a sharp metal pipe after he protested wood was being thrown onto his lawn.
