Two teens attacked and robbed a bicycle deliveryman on Plaza Street East near Butler Place on March 27 — but they didn’t get far before cops collared them.

The 20-year-old deliveryman was punched in the face and his cellphone and $100 were taken from his pockets in the 7:30 pm incident.

Police later picked up a 14-year-old and a 19-year-old.

Teen threat

A 16-year-old man pulled a gun and threatened to kill a woman on March 28.

The woman was near the of Franklin Avenue and Eastern Parkway at around 5:30 pm, when the teenager flashed his weapon.

Cops provided few details.

Triple threat

Three men attacked a 44-year-old man on the corner of St. Johns Place and Franklin Avenue on March 20.

The victim was punched repeatedly in the 7 pm attack, suffering injuries to the nose and face. He was taken to Woodhull hospital by ambulance.

Ticket to ride

Cops collared a man who got angry after being handed a ticket for drinking in a Washington Avenue on March 30.

The anger exploded after a cop gave the man a ticket at around 4:30 pm in the playground near Pacific Street. The alleged public drinker yelled at the officer and threw the ticket and his ID card to the ground.

When the officer took the ID, the man tried to retrieve it from the officer’s hands. That’s always a bad move — and, indeed, the cop not only wrestled it back from the man, but slapped on the cuffs, too.

Who’s the boss?

A 30-year-old woman who had just gotten fired, slammed her former boss’s arm in a door at their office near the corner of Atlantic and Washington avenues on March 27.

But it didn’t stop there. After the 4:30 pm incident, cops said that the woman made threatening phone calls to the 65-year-old man.
