From today's Daily News . . . Huzzahs for the cops!

Briefly... CITY/REGION


Man charged in assault
Two patrol cops snared a would-be robber who they say
attacked a man from behind at Broad and Bainbridge streets in South Philadelphia about 11:15 p.m. Saturday. Police said officers spotted Troy West, 42, after he smashed a man over the head with a bottle and then tried to steal his backpack and rifle through his pockets. The cops chased West and arrested him. He was charged with aggravated assault, robbery, theft and related offenses. The victim had no serious injuries.

I saw this posted on the ppd website and thought it seemed pretty brazen. Even at 11:15 at night there's usually pedestrian and a ton of vehicular traffic (including patrol cars) on that stretch of Broad.

It's a shame the cops caught him really ...he'll be back out there next week.

Yeah! That's because the prison system doesn't solve the problem, does it?
