Violent vagrant has terrorized NYC neighborhood for a decade — but somehow remains free

He’s a Greenpoint goon who just won’t go away.
A 33-year-old vagrant with a lengthy rap sheet has been the bane of a Brooklyn neighborhood for nearly a decade, with complaints of shoplifting, slugging women and threatening local merchants at will – and yet he remains free to continue to wreak havoc.
Registered sex offender Christopher Boissard has been such a long-running menace in Greenpoint that one shop owner keeps a metal rod handy so he can chase him away when he shows up at the door.
“The rod is especially for this guy,” neighborhood bodega owner Babu Davnath said. “He comes in the store screaming and tries to hit people. Everybody’s scared of this guy.
“Many times he’s punched women in the face inside the store and outside on the sidewalk,” Davnath said. “He is very dangerous. He’s stolen from my store many times — beer, food, whatever he wants. This has been happening for the last eight years, maybe more.”
The NYPD says Boissard has been arrested by cops a dozen times since 2022 alone and sent to court for arraignment every time — only to be released.
