The death of a woman found unconscious in East New York last week has been ruled a homicide, police said yesterday.

Nazellon Coward, 45, appeared to have been hit in the head when she was discovered on Glenmore Street and Van Siclen Avenue on Sept. 5, police said.

She died of her injuries at Brookdale Hospital.

Queens

An early-morning argument led to the death of a man in Jamaica, a witness said.

Barrington Blair, 27, was shot once in the chest on 111th Road near Sutphin Boulevard shortly after 4 a.m. Thursday.

A witness told cops that she was walking with a male acquaintance when Blair and two other men confronted them and an argument ensued.

She said she ran to get help, but heard a single shot and rushed back to the scene, fearing for her companion’s life.

Instead, she found Blair had been wounded.

The two men with Blair drove him to Jamaica Hospital, but he died there shortly after 7 a.m., police said.

Surveillance footage from security video cameras helped cops trail and nail an unlikely purse snatcher in Elmhurst.

A 34-year-old New Jersey woman told police that she was inside the McDonald’s restaurant on Queens Boulevard near Cornish Avenue at 7 p.m. on Aug. 26 when she momentarily left her bag, containing $2,000, unattended.

Upon returning to find the bag and the cash gone, she called the cops, who reviewed the video – and watched an older woman swipe the unattended bag and hurry out the door.

Armed with the image, investigators caught up with Cecilia Lee, 63, of Elmhurst on Sept. 4.

They found in her possession not only the stolen pocketbook but also credit cards and a checkbook belonging to the victim.

The cash, however, was nowhere in sight, sources said.

A spokesperson for District Attorney Richard Browne said Lee was arrested on a charge of grand larceny.

A woman who last month threatened to disfigure a neighbor after an argument in their Long Island City building has been arrested.

Tanisha Johnson, 24, knocked on the neighbor’s door shortly after 11 a.m. on Aug. 20 and, brandishing a bottle with one hand, allegedly asked, “Do you want me to throw this lye in your face?”

She then proceeded to splash the bottle’s contents on the neighbor’s door and carpet, leaving burn marks and other damage, sources said.

On the night of Sept. 3, the neighbor told cops that she had been walking home from the subway shortly after 7 p.m. that day when she noticed Johnson following her – and holding a bottle containing an unknown liquid.

The neighbor again managed to escape unharmed, and this time called the police.

Johnson was apprehended two days later and charged with menacing, harassment, criminal mischief and weapon possession, authorities said.

Staten Island

A 55-year-old resident of St. George is suspected of sexually abusing his girlfriend’s 8-year-old granddaughter on multiple occasions, police said yesterday.

The man, who lived with the girl and her grandma, allegedly abused her three times between May 1 and June 30.

After being arrested on Thursday, he admitted to police that he was “very touchy” with the girl, sources said.

He was busted on charges of aggravated sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child, said a spokesman for DA Daniel Donovan.

Cops serving a search warrant on a suspected drug den on Bay Street near Central Avenue in Tompkinsville shortly before 1 p.m. on Sept. 10 were not disappointed.

They found a glass jar with what they took to be PCP, or angel dust, in a freezer, as well as several small envelopes and a scale, sources said.

Richard Jackson, 33, and Russell Taylor, 41 were taken in on charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, authorities said.

A reckless driver threatened a man at gunpoint – then shed his trousers – after a fender bender in Dongan Hills, police said.

Cops said Anicasio Roman, 44, was behind the wheel of a 1985 Toyota Camry shortly after noon on Thursday when he collided with a vehicle on Hylan Boulevard near Naughton Avenue.

Roman backed up and took off, but the other motorist followed him to a nearby dead-end street.

When the angry driver and his passengers confronted him, Roman allegedly pulled a gun, told them to back off, and fled into a nearby marsh on Mason Avenue, sources said.

The driver called the cops, who used police dogs to corner Roman in a wooded area – and found him sans pants.

The trousers were found nearby, with a knife and some Vicodin inside its pockets.

Roman was arrested on charges of menacing, drug possession, and leaving the scene of an accident.
