Brian Quinn, a 37-year-old Rockville Centre resident from Greystone Road was arrested last week in Wyandanch for stealing a car in Baldwin.

The 1st Squad reported details of the incident in a release last Saturday, and revealed that the alleged attack took place at 2:21 a.m. that same day. According to Detective Eckstrom of the 1st Squad, a 59-year-old woman was loading laundry into her 2004 Hyundai Accent in the parking lot of the Basket of Laundry on Merrick Road when a white male is said to have grabbed her from behind. The man, the police report says, demanded the female’s car keys and then threw her to the ground.

The victim suffered a bruised elbow in the alleged attack.

Quinn was later found in the Hyundai Accent in Wyandanch and was placed under arrest without incident. Charged with second-degree robbery, he was arraigned on Sept. 22 at First District Court in Hempstead.
