parkhill man charged with robbery and assault

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - A Clifton man faces felony charges stemming from a robbery and assault inside a Tompkinsville coin laundry.

Police say Coty Harley, 24, of Park Hill Court, walked into the St. Paul’s Laundromat at 6 St. Paul’s Ave. about 9:20 a.m. Aug. 5 and confronted a female attendant.

He threw her to the floor and stepped on her to hold her down as he opened a cash register and took $200, police allege.

When police caught up with Harley in Stapleton Thursday night, he repeatedly gave the officers a fake name, court papers alleged.

He’s charged with second- and third-degree robbery, second- and third-degree burglary, second-degree assault, fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and false personation.
