CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Police say a suspect is under arrest in a Brooklyn crime spree that included breaking windows at a Yeshiva and pistol-whipping a food delivery man.
30-year-old Nerron Purcell is charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal mischief.
Purcell allegedly approached the 23-year-old delivery man on Nov. 8 in Crown Heights, threw him off his bike and struck him on the back of the head with a handgun.
A short time later, police say he approached a parked car and yelled at a 55-year-old woman inside before striking the car's side view mirror.
