MARINERS HARBOR — A Staten Island man assaulted a 16-year-old woman then threatened another person with a gun in separate incidents on the same day, prosecutors said.
Kenton Smith, 19, of Mariners Harbor, was arrested and charged with the two crimes on Sunday, prosecutors said.
At about 7:15 p.m., Smith was inside his Continental Place apartment when he got into an argument with a 16-year-old girl, a law enforcement source said.
Smith started to punch the teen's chest — causing scratching and bruising — and stole her cellphone and left, prosecutors said.
Nearly 20 minutes later, Smith witnessed an argument between two people he didn't know at the corner of Netherland Avenue and Harbor Road. Smith stepped in and pointed a loaded .38 caliber revolver at one and the woman in the argument and told her "get the f--k out of here," prosecutors said.
