62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Elevator punch
Two heartless cads slugged a 69-year-old woman in the face inside a Benson Avenue building on Jan. 29 and made off with her purse.
The victim told police she inside was in an elevator of the building between Bay 28th and Bay 29th streets at 10:20 am, when the delinquent duo joined her.
After the doors closed, one of the jackals socked the woman hard in the nose, before grabbing the poor lady’s purse, and fleeing once the doors opened on the fourth floor, cops said.
Goon on her back
Cops busted a 30-year-old man who they say beat and robbed a woman on Bay Parkway on Jan. 26 — taking her cash, along with her credit and Social Security cards.
The victim told police she was near 82nd Street at 6:10 pm when the suspect jumped on her back and forced her to the ground. Once she was down, he pummeled her with a flurry of blows, then grabbed her wallet and fled, cops said.
Bike bandit
A bandit beat a bicyclist on 86th Street on Feb. 1 — before riding off with his bike.
The victim told police he was riding merrily along near 86th Street at 11 pm when the crook ambushed him. The villain grabbed the man and hurled him from the two-wheeler, sending the man sprawling to the pavement, where he smashed his chin on the sidewalk.
As the victim lay stunned, the beast stomped on his stomach, then snatched his bike and rode off, cops said.
Creeps in cars
Cops slapped cuffs on a man who they say bashed a 75-year-old woman with his car door in the driveway of her W. 11th Street home on Jan. 27.
The victim told police that was returning to her house between Avenues S and T at 4 pm, where she found the suspect’s car parked in a drive she shares with another home. As she attempted to squeeze past the suspect’s driver-side door, the man allegedly hurled it open, catching the old lady in the chest, and causing her head to smash into a nearby wall, according to police.
At that point the victim’s family ran outside and started snapping pictures of the suspect and his car in her driveway, which enraged the man, who proceeded to kick the victim’s front door, damaging it, cops said.
Burglar bungled
An intruder made his way into a woman’s 70th Street home on Jan. 29 — but his plans were foiled when the woman’s son caught him in the act.
The victim told police he was inside his old lady’s house between 16th and 17th avenues at 9:30 am when he heard loud noises coming from the top floor. He was on his way up the stairs when he spotted the would-be thief on his way down, cops said.
Upon being spotted, the trespasser dove out a nearby window, which police suspect is the same portal he used to gain entrance to the property, cops said.
