The Brooklyn Paper
by Thomas Tracy
Remember when the Empire State Development Corporation asked us to believe that this type of thing wouldn't happen anymore once Bruce Ratner had depopulated the Atlantic Yards footprint?
Guard dogged
A shoplifter wigged out on an off-duty cop on Feb. 21 after he was caught swiping nine boxes of Claritin allergy medicine from the Target in the troubled Atlantic Terminal Mall at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues.
The thief was heading toward the door with the medication at 4 pm when the cop, who was moonlighting as an Atlantic Terminal security guard, stopped him.
The crook was arrested, but not before sparking a fight that left the officer with bruised and bloody fingers.
