Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Would-be muggers
Two prowlers attempted to rob a woman on 72nd Street on Nov. 27, said police.
The woman told police that she was walking home between Sixth and Seventh avenues at 9 pm when she was approached by two men. One goon brandished a chrome .22 caliber pistol in front of the woman and another approached her from behind with a 6-inch knife, said police. Then one of the cads said, “Give me your money or we’ll kill you.”
A scuffle ensued and the woman managed to kick and shove the crooks away before they gave up and fled on Sixth Avenue, officials said.
Knife to meet you
A miscreant stabbed a man on Third Avenue on Nov. 24, said police.
The man told police that he was standing on the sidewalk between 86th and 87th Streets at 1:30 am when he got into a physical fight with a man. The rouge punched the man in the face, mouth, and jaw, before he pulled out a knife and stabbed the man in the abdomen.
A witness told police that the stabber fled on Third Avenue, officials said.
Robbed at gunpoint
Two brutes robbed a FedEx delivery truck driver at gunpoint on Fort Hamilton Parkway on Nov. 23, said police.
The victim told police that while returning to his truck between 92nd and 94th streets after making a package delivery at 10:30 am, two louts forced him into his truck at gunpoint. Once in the truck, the baddies forced the man to open packages and hand over the contents, said police.
The bandits made off with a Samsung tablet, a Samsung Note 5, and an iPhone 7, officials said.
