My local police blotter

By popular demand, my blogging hiatus is over.

Here's a fun little tidbit from my neighborhood police files: Christian Slater allegedly molesting a 52-year-old woman.

Slater staggered out of a taxi and groped the 52-year-old woman's buttocks on Second Ave. at 93rd St. shortly after 2 a.m., cops said.

His victim -- who had no idea that the hand on her bottom belonged to a Broadway star -- wasn't flattered and called 911, police said.

Minutes later, Slater, 35, who isappearing in "The Glass Menagerie," was arrested a block away.

"This is bull----!" Slater whined to cops as they handcuffed him, a police source said.

"I didn't do anything," he fumed. "I'm suing you! I'm suing the Police Department! I'm suing everybody!"

Obviously, Slater isn't a local. Anyone who's been around here for more than a couple of weeks knows that 50-something women on the Upper East Side are the last people in the world you want to mess with -- likely as not, they're packing heat in their Birkin bags.
