QUEENS — A woman threw a knife at a man for touching her with his feet, police said.
The 20-year-old man was visiting his girlfriend's apartment on 196th Street near 100th Avenue, when a dispute between him and his girlfriend's sister turned violent, police said.
The man was sitting on a bed with his 16-year-old girlfriend and her 25-year-old sister at about 10:50 p.m. on April 29, when he touched the sister with his feet, sparking an argument, officials said.
The sister became upset and said, "Why do you touch me with your feet? You know I don't like feet," before throwing a knife at the man, hitting him in the arm, police said.
The man then ran outside, pulled out a gun and fired a round into the air, police said.
“I’ll kill you,” he shouted and fired another round at her, but missed, officials said.
He fled the location. No arrests were made as of Tuesday morning, police said.
Other notable crimes in the 103rd Precinct include:
► Two armed men tied up workers at a MetroPCS store in Hollis and then made off with $15,000 and 31 cell phones, police said.
The suspects entered the store on Hillside Avenue near 205th Street at roughly 4:30 p.m. on April 28 and brandished a silver gun, police said.
Then the men forced two store employees into a back room, where they bounded the workers' hands with duct tape. The robbers searched the store before fleeing with the cash and phones about 15 minutes later, police said.
Police believe the suspects are also connected to an April 17 robbery, when robbers stole $600 from a U-Haul garage on Merrick near Montauk Street at approximately 7 p.m.
In that incident, the robbers also held the workers at gunpoint and tied them up, police said.
No injuries were reported.

The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition. The man is an aspiring musician with a lengthy criminal record, including drug-related offenses and gang ties, officials said.
Police said the victim, who was in the area visiting his music producer, appeared to be targeted.
