Shoplifter caught on video hitting Walgreens security guard skips out on court date, warrant issued
at a Walgreens in the Port Authority Bus Terminal is now in the wind after skipping a court date, The Post has learned.
The retired NYPD officer previously told The Post how he had implored Port Authority cops to get Coleman mental health treatment, rather than charge him over the scuffle, saying prosecuting the vagrant would be a waste of time. Coleman was granted supervised release at his arraignment on the misdemeanor raps and ordered to return to court on April 14, according to state court officials and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
Earlier in March, Coleman allegedly punched a 37-year-old man multiple times outside of Penn Station and ripped his phone out of his front pocket, police said. He was later arrested by Port Authority cops. But the alleged shoplifter came back and tried to make off with another bag of food, according to a notice of claim filed by Lopiccolo’s attorney last week. That’s when Lopiccolo stopped him at the door, sparking the caught-on-video altercation, the filing states.The guard chased down the man, threw him to the ground and held him until cops arrived, according to the court document and the cellphone video.
