Barkin mad at NYPD response
ACTRESS ELLEN Barkin had a terrifying encounter with a burglar at her Greenwich Village home — then criticized the NYPD, a day into the lower Manhattan terrorism investigation, for not sending detectives to her fast enough.
“The first responders were great, here in 70 secs!” the 63-year-old, Bronx-born Barkin tweeted. “It’s only been 4hours.”
That tweet was sent at 9:06 a.m. Wednesday, which was 2 hours and 16 minutes after police got a 911 call to go to her W. 12th St. town house near Sixth Ave.
Barkin, currently starring in cable TV’s “Animal Kingdom,” awoke at 6:45 a.m. Wednesday to a noise in her son’s empty bedroom.
She went upstairs and saw the thief at the balcony door, sources said. He bolted when he saw her, leaving behind a bag with jewelry.
Nine minutes after her first tweet, Barkin was back at it, acknowledging Tuesday’s terrorist attack, but saying cops had to pay attention to other crimes.
