Man Accused Of Threatening People With Knife At Greenwich Plaza: PD

GREENWICH, CT — A New York City man is accused of threatening people with a knife and exposing himself to a woman at Greenwich Plaza, police said.

Antonio McDuffie, 21, of the Bronx, N.Y., was arrested Monday and charged with second-degree criminal attempt at robbery; second-degree breach of peace; public indecency; and second-degree threatening, according to an arrest report.

McDuffie was held on a $20,000 bond.

Police said on Aug. 8 at 2:37 p.m., a woman at Greenwich Plaza contacted security and said a man was acting suspicious and trying to get money from people in the parking garage, Lt. Martin O'Reilly of the GPD said.

Security went to check, and the man, later identified as McDuffie, took his belongings and went to the train station, O'Reilly said.

A short time later, the man came back falsely accusing security of stealing his belongings, and witnesses told police he threatened to stab them with a knife, which he dropped inside Greenwich Plaza, an arrest report said.

O'Reilly said the man's belongings were found at the train station.

Police later found out that the man had previously approached a woman in the parking garage and demanded money from her, showing the same knife he had dropped in the building.

"The accused made a stabbing motion with the knife before exposing his private parts to her while she sat in her vehicle," police said in an arrest report.

McDuffie is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 22.
