Bronxville Police Blotter for November 13, 2016

alt


By Bronxville Police Department


Nov. 23, 2016:  On November 13, 2016, a Yonkers resident reported at 2:35 pm that her 18-month-old son had been bitten on the chin by a dog that was tied to a pole outside Starbucks three hours earlier. 

The woman explained that her son would have to receive painful rabies shots if proof of vaccination could not be shown within 10 days. 

The Bronxville Police Department undertook a search to identify the owner of the dog utilizing police surveillance cameras in the area surrounding Starbucks, and police were able to locate and memorialize a photograph of the dog owner walking the dog. 

That photograph was broadcast through the SwiftReach system by the police department, resulting in numerous anonymous calls identifying the canine and its owner. 

The dog owner was contacted and provided proof of rabies vaccination to the child's mother. The child was able to avoid getting the round of rabies shots.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
