Man Arrested For Stalking Minor At Lasker Pool
Manhattan
A observant Parks Enforcement Patrol Officer recognized a man wanted for "harassment and stalking a minor," at Central Park's Pool on Tuesday, August 10th. "Step Up" Park Enforcement Police (PEP) Sgt. Matthew Greenberg noticed 31-year-old Dylan Kelly from an NYPD wanted poster hanging at Lasker Pool as he entered Sheltering Arms Pool. (Kelly's image was taken from CCTV at the pool.) He was wanted for an incident involving a child which occurred on July 19th at Lasker.
Sgt. Greenberg, who is usually assigned to Lasker pool, on Tuesday was sent to work at Sheltering Arms where he noticed the scraggly, goateed, stringy long-haired man entering the pool. The sergeant called over to Lasker Pool to obtain a copy of the wanted poster which was brought to Sheltering Arms. Greenberg notified NYPD cops on duty at Sheltering Arms who questioned and arrested the perpetrator. - Geoffrey Croft

Harbor Seal Spotted On Upper Westside
Back in January a seal was spotted basking in the sun off Staten Island, and it was promptly featured in The Advance with a photo spread. Now Manhattan has its own posing seal! A photographer sent the NY Post a shot of this Upper West Side seal, spotted at the end of West 64th Street on the Hudson. But how did he get up there? The paper says he likely rode the high tide. Pretty clever... but which borough has the cuter seal?
