Choked up
A thief choked a man unconscious on Oct. 24 on Grand Street and stole his phone and wallet.
The victim told police that he was near Berry Street at 6:50 am when the perp grabbed him from behind, clenched his neck, and said, “Relax, relax.”
The victim lost conscious, and when he woke up he saw his stuff was gone.
Impatient banker
A thief threatened a teller and took a fistful of dollars from a Chase Bank on Havemeyer Street on Oct. 24.
The perp entered the bank near Broadway at 9:16 am, and told the teller, “I need to make a withdrawal.”
Of course, he wasn’t talking about his own money, as his note soon indicated. The teller handed over some singles, and he grabbed them and fled.
