And the beer, too
Police arrested a man who they say robbed a Manhattan Avenue deli and made off with $3,300 and some Grolsch beer on Oct. 20.
The clerk at the Freeman Street store reported that the suspect came in at 1:40 am and grabbed some beer from the back and put it on the counter. He then pointed some sort of weapon in a plastic bag at the clerk, police reported.
“Give me all the cash,” he allegedly told the clerk.
The accused then forced the clerk to the ground while scooping all the money out of the register, then ordered the clerk to into the basement, according to cops.
Finally, he grabbed the beer and ran out of the store, the authorities said. Cops charged the 55-year-old with robbery.
Workplace dispute
An angry man beat his coworker in the head with a bicycle lock at a Graham Avenue deli on Oct. 23, per a report.
The victim said that he got into an argument with his colleague inside of the bodega at Conselyea Street at 9 pm. The bully grabbed the lock and smashed the guy in the head with it, leaving a big gash, officers stated.
Paramedics took the victim to Woodhull Medical Center, according to police.
Pole-jumpy
A man working at a Bedford Avenue store on Oct. 25 got nervous about someone who came up to him as he was closing up shop and beat the guy with a metal pole, according to police.
A pair of witnesses said that the man was closing up the store between Nassau and Manhattan avenues at 10:09 pm when the victim walked up behind him.
The worker grabbed the pole from the roll-gate and whacked the fellow in the stomach, the witnesses said.
