LI Man Held Knife To Boy's Throat, Demanded Sex From Woman: NCPD

A Uniondale man was arrested on Sunday and charged in a string of incidents that all happened within a few minutes in the morning, and culminated in him holding a knife to a young boy's throat.

According to police, Gregory Davidson, 43, of Liberty Street, entered a home on Southern Parkway in Uniondale at 6:50 a.m. through an unlocked kitchen door. Police say he took a knife and went into one of the bedrooms, where he grabbed a 9-year-old boy and threatened his life while holding the knife to his throat.

Police say Davidson took the boy into another bedroom, occupied by a 43-year-old woman, and demanded sexual conduct from her. When the woman's husband woke up, police say Davidson fled the home. The family called the police, who found Davidson in the backyard of another home on Southern Parkway and placed him under arrest.

Police say that an investigation found that Davidson was involved in two other incidents in Uniondale that morning.

At 6:20 a.m., in front of a home on New Street, police say Davidson approached a 64-year-old woman and tried to steal her purse. When he couldn't, police say he kicked her and caused her to fall to the ground, then fled the scene. The woman was taken to a hospital for a shoulder injury.

At 6:40 a.m., police say that Davidson tried to break into another home on Southern Parkway by climbing through a window, but set off the house's alarm and fled the scene.

Davidson is charged with third-degree attempted robbery, second-degree attempted burglary, two counts of second-degree burglary, second-degree kidnapping, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, endangering the welfare of a child, fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, fourth-degree possession of a weapon and two counts of second-degree menacing. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in First District Court in Hempstead.
