Quick hit

Two men robbed another man as he walked down 62nd Street on Nov. 6.

The 45-year-old victim told cops he was walking to work between Eighth and Ninth avenues at 11:30 am when the two thugs came up from behind him, grabbed his wallet out of his back pocket and ran off with more than $350.

Car jacked

Someone stole a man’s wallet out of a car parked on Seventh Avenue on Nov. 6.

The 29-year-old owner of the black Dodge told cops he left the vehicle at the corner of 81st Street at around 10 am.

When he returned nearly 12 hours later, a passenger side window had been smashed, and his wallet — containing $200 and various debit and credit cards — was gone.
