62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Knifed in the night
A trio of fiends sliced a guy who they were trying to rob on 86th Street on Sept. 14, police said.
The man was waiting for a cab outside a bar between Bay 35th Street and 24th Avenue in Bath Beach at 3 am when the three goons confronted him and asked if he had any money, cops said. The victim denied having any cash, so the brutes busted out a blade and sliced his wrist and abdomen before running off, law enforcement officials stated.
An ambulance took the guy to Lutheran Medical Center in stable condition and he received several stitches, according to the NYPD.
Bling burglars
A rash of rim thefts hit the 62nd Precinct last week, per cops.
• Someone pried off the passenger-side rims from a car parked on 20th Avenue on Sept. 10, officers reported.
The vehicle’s owner parked his car between Bay Ridge Avenue and 70th Street in Bensonhurst at 11:30 pm, but when he came back the next day, half his wheel decorations had disappeared, according to an official account.
• Two days later, on Sept. 12, someone took a full set from a Honda parked in front of the very same address, police said.
Video surveillance on the block between Bay Ridge Avenue and 70th Street in Bensonhurst shows the sneak swiped rims from the vehicle’s passenger side at 2:35 am and came back for the other pair minutes later, officers said. The footage then shows the male suspect fleeing in a dark vehicle, a report states.
Big haul
A burglar broke into a 79th Street apartment, ransacked the place, and absconded with $5,000 and jewelry on Sept. 10, the NYPD said.
The prowler pried open the basement door at the house between 21st Avenue and Bay Parkway in Bensonhurst at 8 am and tore through the home to find the goods before breaking down a back door and fleeing the scene, according to cops.
Hit-and-run robbery
Two goons ran over a guy and then robbed him at the corner of 18th Avenue and 71st Street on Sept 12, the Police Department related.
The victim was on 71st Street in Bensonhurst at 11:20 pm when a dark-colored sport utility vehicle hit him from behind and knocked him to the ground, police said.
The dastardly duo got out of the car and told the victim to give them his money, according to a report. They rifled through his pockets, took $15 and a cellphone, and punched him in the head for good measure before fleeing the scene, according to law enforcement officials.
Teen trouble
Three teenage louts roughed a guy up and stole his wallet and cellphone at the corner of Benson and 24th avenues in Bath Beach on Sept. 11, cops said.
The threesome approached their victim at 10:30 pm and descended on him, punching him in the face and body, police said. During the beat down they took $30, credit cards, and a phone, a report shows. The muggers left the guy bleeding from his arms and face, officers said.
