Car jacking
Two brazen beasts pulled an 18-year-old man from his car on Sheepshead Bay Road on Sept. 7, beat him, and drove off with the car.
The victim told police he was sitting in the car near Shore Parkway at 5 am when the unidentified pair grabbed him, punched him, and forced him out of the vehicle.
The dastardly duo drove off eastbound on Shore Parkway, but the car was later recovered on Brown Street, between Avenues X and Y, police said. The victim suffered two black eyes and a cut lip, officials reported.
Elderly woman attacked
A fiend assaulted and robbed an 85-year-old woman in the elevator of a Nostrand Avenue apartment building on Sept. 12.
Police say the woman was taking the elevator up to her apartment in the building near Avenue V at 7:15 pm when the savage, who was also in the elevator, grabbed her from behind and forced her to the floor.
The crook felt the woman’s pants pockets and found her passport, which he took before fleeing down the stairs, according to cops.
Neck Road beating
A pair of punks followed, attacked, and robbed a 45-year-old man on Gravesend Neck Road on Sept. 7.
The victim walked into the 61st Precinct station house at 2:50 am bleeding heavily from the face and said he had gotten off the bus on E. 14th Street and felt as if he was being followed, said police.
His stalkers attacked him and stole his cellphone, officials reported. The victim was taken to Coney Island Hospital.
Kelly Park clobbering
Two thugs beat up and robbed a 60-year-old man in Kelly Park on Avenue S while he was drinking from a water fountain on Sept. 7
The victim told police he was going to work at 3:30 am and crossing through the park near E. 14th Street when he stopped to take a drink. Two men, one holding a flashlight, approached him, and one asked the victim for his name and where he was from, a police source said.
But the other man began punching the victim, who fell to the ground and hit his head on the concrete. The two attackers took off with the victim’s backpack, containing his cellphone and credit cards.
Cellphone struggle
A pair of masked robbers took more than $11,000 worth of electronic devices from a Kings Highway store on Sept. 9 before a clerk chased them down and recovered the items.
The crooks burst into the store near Ocean Avenue at 2:25 pm brandishing guns and grabbed six Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphones, nine 6s Apple iPhones, and an Apple iPad mini, said authorities.
The store’s clerk struggled with the thieves during the robbery, and discovered that the guns were imitation pistols, so he chased the villains down and retrieved the devices, according to police.
