🌱 Prospect Park Attacker Wanted + Flatlands Pedestrian Struck

Happy Wednesday, neighbors! I am your host, Patrick Murray here with three fresh stories to start your day.

First, today's weather:

A little afternoon rain with a high of 45 and a low of 43.

Here are the top stories in Brooklyn today:

1. Police are searching for a stranger who assaulted a 23-year-old woman last Thursday morning. The victim was walking towards a Q train at the Prospect Park subway station when the suspect attacked, and he fled when another subway passenger approached. The victim was not physically injured in the attack, and police released a surveillance photo of the assailant. (NBC New York)
2. A man is in life-threatening condition after being struck by a Jeep Cherokee on Tuesday. The victim was crossing Avenue P in Flatlands at around 6:30 p.m. when the Jeep slammed into him while it was turning. The driver remained at the scene and faced no immediate charges. (Yahoo News)
3. A manhunt is underway for a suspect and a getaway vehicle in connection with Friday's shooting of a toddler in Brownsville. The 3-year-old girl was shot while her father was picking her up from daycare just after 6 p.m., and she remains in stable condition. Police said that the girl and her father were not the intended targets of the shooting, but the suspect remains at large. (ABC 7 NY)

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Brooklyn resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Brooklyn residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
