CLINTON HILL — A man spewing expletives swung a crowbar at a woman with a walker on Fulton Street and Washington Avenue Tuesday night, police said.

"B--ch, I got something for you," the man told the victim, who was sitting in her walker on the corner at 10:55 p.m. Tuesday, according to the NYPD.

The 49-year-old woman's walker was dented by the blow.

The 56-year-old man was charged with attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon and is due back in court Oct. 27, court records show.

Other recent crimes in the 88th precinct include:
