Robbers on wheels
Two punks on bikes brutally beat and mugged a man in Leif Ericson Park on Aug. 26, said police.
The victim told police the two robbers approached him in the green space at Forth Hamilton Parkway and 66th Street at 4:15 am. One grabbed the man and punched him multiple times in the head and body and stole $100 from his pocket while the other stood lookout, said police.
The victim said he tried to run away but was chased down by the two brutes and attacked again as one man yelled: “Give me your money, give me your cellphone.” The crooks fled on their bikes and the victim was taken to Maimonides Medical Center, police reported.
Two-on-one
A dastardly duo attacked a man with a metal pipe on Fifth Avenue on Aug. 27, cops reported.
The man was near 86th Street at 12:30 am when the brawlers struck him in the face, creating a gash in the right side of his mug, according to police. The suspects fled on foot, cops said.
Overpowered
A creep grabbed a 13-year-old girl and stole her phone on the corner of Ridge Boulevard and 67th Street on Aug. 28, police stated.
The victim told police she was pushed down to the ground from behind as she tried to fight the man off from taking her cellphone at 7:20 pm. The man eventually overpowered the teenager and fled with her phone, said cops.
Big score
A thief swiped a woman’s valuables — including her three daughters’ Social Security cards — from her minivan on Bay Ridge Avenue on Aug. 22, said authorities.
The victim told police that she double-parked her minivan near 10th Avenue at 2:30 pm and stepped inside her house to drop off some items. When she returned she spotted a man riding a bike racing off with her cellphone, passport, driver’s license, credit card, Medicaid card, and the Social Security cards for her three daughters, according to a police report.
Backpack bandit
Crooks broke into a woman’s Third Avenue apartment on Aug. 27 and made off with $750, police reported.
The victim told cops that she left her home near 82nd Street at 2 pm and when she returned home from work at 4 am the next day she noticed her window was open. The bandits made off with the cash and a bookbag, cops said.
