Masked beat-down
Two chumps beat up a guy and stole his phone and coat on W. 11th Street on Dec. 1.
The pair came up to their victim between Avenues W and X wearing black hoodies and masks at 10:52 pm, police said. One said, “Give me your s—” and then punched the man in the face while his partner tried to pry the phone from the guy’s hand, a police report states.
The victim fell to the ground and the two louts started kicking him in the face and head shouting, “Give me your money,” police said. The thugs took the guy’s phone and jacket and left him with a bruised head, officials said.
Not neighborly
Police arrested a man on Dec. 3 who they said robbed a Surf Avenue woman and threatened to rape her in public if she called the police.
The suspect and the victim live in the same apartment building, between W. 30th and W. 31st streets, police said. The guy allegedly followed the woman and harassed her as she walked her kids to school at 7:45 am.
Then, police say he cornered her in a stairwell of the apartment building, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her to the ground before taking her tablet computer. After allegedly beating and robbing the woman, officials say the man threatened her, saying “If you call the cops, I’m gonna violate you in the street.”
The woman told police that the 37-year-old lives with his mother and has no job or car, police said. Officers went to the man’s home, arrested him, and recovered the computer, a police report states.
Socked hard
Some punks at an Ocean Parkway high school beat a kid so badly on Dec. 1 that they broke his eye socket.
The victim was eating lunch at the school between West Avenue and Shore Parkway at 12:45 pm when someone threw food at him, police said. He confronted the punks, who told him they were looking for a fight, a police report states.
The bell rang, and the kids dispersed, but the punks jumped the victim in the stairwell, officials said.
Teens mob guy
A horde of juveniles jumped a guy on Brighton Beach Avenue on Dec. 5.
The 40-year-old victim was between Ocean Parkway and Brighton First Street at 3:42 pm when someone came out of nowhere and punched him in the face, police said.
As he tried to run, about 20 kids between the ages of 16 and 18 hit him and smacked him with a blunt object, a police report states. The punks took the guy’s cellphone and they fled to the Brighton Beach Avenue Q train station.
Caught a stray
Someone shot a man while he was walking home from a W. 33rd Street grocery store on Dec. 1
An unknown shooter fired four to five shots between Bayside and Neptune avenues at 3:43 pm, and one struck the guy’s thigh, police said.
Paramedics took him to Lutheran Medical Center and was not likely to die from the wound, officials said.
