Plier problems
Cops arrested two men who they say beat another man with pliers on E. 29th Street on Oct. 7.
The victim told police that he was between Avenues T and U at 11:45 am when the suspects began kicking him in the head and in the body around the area of his kidney, before striking him on the head with pliers.
Renter’s fraud
A man and woman were arrested after they took a man’s money in return for the lease on an Avenue Y aparment on July 22 — but never gave him the key, cops allege.
The victim told police that he met with both suspects at the apartment building between E. 18th and E. 19th streets at 5:30 pm, and handed over cash in exchange for securing the lease on an apartment.
Shortly before the vicitm’s subsequent move-in date, however, the suspects refused to give him a key for the apartment, nor would they give him the cash he had paid for it, according to court documents.
