The 26-year-old victim told police she got on the train in Manhattan at around 4 am and fell asleep.

Nearly an hour later she was awakened by the thug’s hands round her throat.

Turning the tables

The 27-year-old victim told police he was nearing the corner at 3:15 pm when the two suspects rolled up in a black Lexus, asking him for the time.

He pulled out his Blackberry and rattled off the time and the thieves rolled off, only to come back a short time later on foot. One of the men had a Stiletto knife in his hand. “Give me your Blackberry and everything you got,” the thief ordered.

But the victim didn’t relent.

Instead, he punched the thief in the face and ran off. The suspects ran off in the other direction, police said.

20th Ave. murder

A heavy-handed thug beat a 37-year-old to death in the street on Aug. 3, but was arrested 24 hours later.

Witnesses said the victim, who had only been in the United States for six months, was nearing his home, which is on 20th Avenue near 84th Street, at 5:20 pm when the 36-year-old suspect attacked him, leaving him with multiple injuries to his head and face.

Payback kills

A man arrested last month for winging a 19-month-old girl during a Coney Island shoot out was shot dead on Aug. 7.

Police said a gunman shot 24-year-old Vincent Carmona twice as he rode a bicycle past the corner of West 32nd Street and Mermaid Avenue just after 3:18 pm. He later died of his injuries at Lutheran Medical Center.

Cops are still looking for the shooter, although they have not ruled out that the killing could be connected to the July 25 shooting outside the O’Dwyer Houses on West 35th Street between Mermaid and Surf avenues.

Police said that Carmona and 17-year-old Devin Dortch were involved in a fire fight, but the only person wounded was a 19-month-old standing by her mother as she unloaded groceries.

The toddler was hit in the arm and rushed to Lutheran Medical Center for treatment.

Carmona and Dortch were arrested, but released on bail a short time later.

Police said that Carmona had been arrested eight times before injuring the 19-month old, most recently for threatening a police captain.

Cops are asking anyone with information regarding this incident to come forward.
