90th Precinct
Southside–Bushwick
Pantsed and attacked
A man was arrested for pulling a woman’s shorts down, beating her up, and stealing her backpack on Bushwick Place on Sept. 2.
The woman told police she was walking between Johnson and Montrose avenues at 2:50 am when the alleged robber came up behind her, pulled her shorts down, and started punching and kicking her. He then took her backpack, which contained an iPhone, $356 in cash, a debit card, a sweatshirt, and a driver’s license, cops reported. The man ran off but was caught a few blocks away, and allegedly told police he regretted what he did.
“I never did anything like this before, and I feel really bad,” he allegedly told them.
Deli damage
Police arrested a pair of young men who they say attacked a teenager and stole his property on Humboldt Street on Sept. 2.
The teen told police that he was coming out of a deli at the corner Grand Street at 4:45 am when the duo cornered him.
“What are you looking at?” one of them said before punching him in the head several times, giving him two black eyes, and breaking his nose, according to a police report.
They then allegedly grabbed the victim’s cash and cellphone and ran off.
Can’t get good help
Someone stole $6,000 in cash from an elderly man on Penn Street on July 31 — and he told police his housekeeper did it.
The 83-year-old victim told police that he noticed that his large sum of cash was missing from his apartment between Marcy and Lee avenues at 6 pm, but he did not report the loss until a month later.
He told police that the only person who had access to his apartment was a housekeeper from a white glove agency.
He’ll take what he can get
A robber tried to hold up a Havemeyer Street bodega for hundreds of dollars on Sept. 3, but got away with only eight bucks and a bag of chips.
The teenage victim, who works at the bodega between S. Second and S. Third streets, told police that the robber barreled in at 3:55 am.
“Give me $500 out of the register,” the robber yelled.
The clerk refused to hand over any money, so the robber snatched $8 out of the clerk’s hand and grabbed a bag of chips on his way out. Cops did not specify the flavor of the chips.
Mugged his mug
A pair of robbers beat and robbed a man was walking home from work on Lorimer Street on Sept. 4.
The victim told police he was at the northwest corner of Stagg Street at 2 am when two guys walked up to him and one of them punched him in the face. The other guy then grabbed his wallet, which included his green card, debit card, $182 cash, and a MetroCard.
Man shot
Someone shot a 24-year-old man as he was walking out of a Moore Street bodega on Sept. 5.

The victim was taken to Elmhurst Hospital. He told police he did not see who shot him.
