90th Precinct
Southside–Williamsburg
Battered
A bat-wielding maniac battered a guy at the corner of S. Fourth and Roebling streets on Dec. 11.
The victim was walking through the Continental Army Plaza after work at 7 pm when the brute came up from behind him and struck him across the back and right leg with a bat, leaving him with swelling and a possible broken leg, police said.
The victim told cops he had seen the bad guy hanging out at the park before and can identify him.
Lady of the night
A lady robbed a taxi driver after propositioning him on Flushing Avenue on the night of Dec. 12.
The cabbie picked up the woman when she hailed his car at 10:30 pm, and after climbing in she asked for money and offered sex, according to a police report.
When the driver refused, the perp stuck her arm through the partition and around his neck, demanding money, cops said.
The driver gave her $11 in cash, but when she asked for more moolah he refused — so she grabbed the keys from the car’s ignition before jumping out and fleeing to a housing development between Humboldt Street and Bushwick Avenue, police said.
Dirty word
A foul-mouthed punk beat a guy over the head with a metal bat on Hooper Street in broad daylight on Dec. 9.
The victim was between Broadway and S. Fifth Street at 3:52 pm when the lout ran up behind him yelling the Spanish word for “c———” and bashed him in the back of the head, cops said.
The victim fell to the ground and suffered a head wound, but remained conscious and was taken to a nearby hospital, police said.
Surveillance footage shows the perp running down Hooper Street towards Broadway after the attack, according to a police report.
Home invasion
A low-life broke into a Metropolitan Avenue apartment on Dec. 7 and waved a gun at the resident before running off with her laptop.
The victim said the burglar kicked down the door of her apartment between Morgan Avenue and Olive Street at 2:35 pm and snatched her MacBook, according to a police report. The victim, who had been sleeping, came out of her bedroom when she heard a noise and saw the intruder, who instantly pointed a gun at her and yelled, “Get back, get back!” cops said.
The victim screamed for her husband who was sleeping in a different room, and the robber fled in an unknown direction, police said. The victim told cops she could not identify the thief because she was not wearing her glasses at the time of the break-in. — Allegra Hobbs
