Man Attacked Employee At Nassau Pizzeria: Police

BALDWIN, NY — A Manhattan man was arrested Thursday after police say he attacked an employee of a Baldwin pizzeria and stole items from the restaurant.

According to police, Ricardo Luckain, 29, of Bank Street, entered Gino's Pizzeria, at 919 Atlantic Ave., at 7:25 p.m. to confront one of the employees. Police say he began smashing multiple items in the pizzeria and threw a large metal container, which hit the employee. As Luckain was smashing items, a large piece of glass struck a second man, police said. Luckain then took two cell phones from the counter and fled.

Both of the victims received medical treatment from a Nassau County police medic at the scene.

After an investigation, police say they located Luckain at a home on Milburn Avenue and placed him under arrest without incident.

Luckain is charged with two counts of second-degree assault, fourth-degree grand larceny, second-degree criminal mischief, fourth-degree criminal mischief and unlawful possession of marijuana. He is scheduled to be arraigned later Friday.
