Sheriff deputies shut down an illegal warehouse party near the Ridgewood Maspeth border early Sunday morning for violating COVID-19 regulations.

The officers shuttered the warehouse party at 47-02 Metropolitan Ave. around 2:30 a.m. and charged five organizers with multiple criminal, health and liquor offenses.

They found nearly 70 people inside dancing, smoking and drinking alcohol without wearing masks or social distancing.

In addition to flouting coronavirus orders, the warehouse was operating without a liquor license, the NYC Sheriff’s Office said.

The office has shuttered several Queens establishments for hosting parties in violation of COVID-19 rules over the past few months, including karaoke bars and banquet halls.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
