Man accused of impersonating officer
Police arrested a Punchbowl man Monday on suspicion of armed robbery, harassment and impersonating a police officer.Police said the suspect, 40, approached a man on Prospect Street, identified himself as a police officer by displaying a badge, and ordered the man to drop a bag he was carrying.
The victim, 39, recognized that the badge was fake and refused to comply unless the suspect could offer another form of identification, police said.
The suspect threw a punch that was deflected by the victim, police said.
He then approached a 17-year-old boy who was nearby talking on a cellular phone, and demanded at gunpoint that the boy hand over his phone, police said.
The boy refused, so the suspect grabbed the phone while pointing a gun at the boy's groin, police said.
Police officers arrived and arrested the man and recovered the gun.
