Crazed customer batters cashier with iced-tea box

62nd Precinct

Bensonhurst—Bath Beach

Tea-d off

A disgruntled customer battered a cashier with a box of Lipton Iced Tea at a New Utrecht Avenue supermarket after she refused to ring up his purchases on Feb. 10, police stated.

The victim told cops she closed the line at her register at the store between 81st and 84th streets at 5:30 pm and told the would-be patron that she would be unable to check him out.

The entitled shopper pitched a fit and began cursing and screaming at the worker, then pulled out the box of tea and hit the worker in the face with it repeatedly, cops said. The crazed caffeine consumer then ran out of the store, jumped into his white Mercedes-Benz, and sped away, police said.

Hitting the bottle

A brute bashed a man on the braincase with a beer bottle on New Utrecht Avenue on Feb. 15, according to cops.

The victim said he was walking between 72nd Street and 16th Avenue at 5:05 am when the goon walked up and cracked him on the skull with the container.

Backseat driver

A knife-wielding fiend commandeered a woman’s car, battered her, and stole her driver’s license and jewelry on 20th Avenue on Feb. 12, authorities reported.

The victim said she was sitting in her vehicle at the corner of 86th Street at 1:13 pm when the villain jumped in the backseat and flashed a black-handled blade. The brute struck her several times on the head with the handle, and demanded her jewelry and identification, police said.

The woman complied, and the lowlife ordered her to drive him down 20th Avenue in the direction of Shore Parkway, according to cops. After several blocks, the lowlife jumped out and fled in the direction of 86th Street, per police.

Minor threat

A sadistic sextet stuck up a 12-year-old at knifepoint on Bay 19th Street on Feb. 14, police said.

The victim said he was walking between Benson and Bath Avenues at 5:10 pm when the perps approached. One grabbed him from behind while another pulled a knife and stole the boy’s cellphone and boots, cops said.

The goon holding the kid then struck him on the head, and all six scrammed down the block, according to police.

Follow the beater

A tough guy led a 17-year-old astray and then robbed him on Benson Avenue on Feb. 12, cops allege.

The victim reported that he was near Bay 23rd Street when the stranger suddenly came up, grabbed his arm, and demanded that he follow him. After going several blocks the goon whirled the victim around and threatened him, police said.

“I’ll hit you if you don’t give me your money,” the crook supposedly said.

The no-goodnik then reached into the victim’s pocket, took out $850 in cash, and ran, according to police.
