Traumatized
Some jerks zapped a woman’s face with a Taser on Jay Street on Dec. 8.
The shocked victim said she was near Prospect Street when two guys surprised her from behind, one of them grabbing her putting the weapon to her right cheek as the other acted as a lookout, said police.
The two cretins fled before she could get help.
Beat for beats
A fiend struck a woman on the back of the head and tried to steal her headphones on Jay Street on Dec. 7.
The victim told police she was at Willoughby Street at 8:10 pm when the rascal punched her in the back of the head and attempted to steal her pink Beats headphones.
She managed to pry away her property and chased the goon onto Adams Street, but he was too quick and disappeared, said police.
Checked out
A sneak snatched a wallet from a woman’s pocket as she was waiting in line to check out at a Willoughby Street store on Dec. 8.
The shopper put her pocketbook in her jacket pocket while she was standing in line to pay for her merchandise at the store near Lawrence Street at 5:30 pm, according to a report.
She noticed a man standing next to her when she was looking at some goods, and when she moved to the side she noticed her wallet had vanished, said police.
Taxi takeover
A gaggle of goons robbed a taxi driver at gunpoint on State Street on Dec. 10.
The cabbie said he picked up four guys near Atlantic Avenue at 8:55 pm and was heading towards Clinton Hill when one of the guys asked him, “What do you have in your pocket?” according to police.
The victim said he told the guy he had $150 and the scoundrel replied, “Give it up, don’t play with your life,” while another guy pulled out a gun from his backpack.
The victim took off his seatbelt and tried to escape but the lout in the front seat grabbed his arm and swiped $10 from his pocket, said police. The cabbie managed to escape and ran off near Bond Street.
