Ugly rape
A woman was raped inside a bathroom at a cafe on Metropolitan Avenue on Nov. 7.
Cops said that the victim was having drinks with friends around 10 pm inside the bar, which is between Wythe Avenue and Berry Street, when she excused herself to use the restroom.
She told police that she accidentally went into the men’s restroom where a thug forced her to have sex with him.
No more details were provided by police on what was the eighth reported rape of the year.
Meserole madness
Two women ducked being mugged by a bad guy on Meserole Street on Nov. 14 by simply running away from their would-be attacker — but the thief finally got his cash from a third victim.
The first unsuccessful mugging was at around 7:40 pm when a thief put a gun to a woman’s torso between Graham Avenue and Humboldt Street. When the woman kept walking, the would-be-robber grabbed her arm, but she yanked it away and ran away yelling for help. The perp decided not to chase her.
Five minutes later and one block away, a woman ran into a bodega at Bushwick Avenue to avoid giving the armed mugger her possessions. The robber fled into the night.
But about an hour later, he was at work again, this time near Manhattan Avenue when he held up a woman with a simple question: “How much money you got, miss?”
The handed over $80 and a Blackberry.
One day later, another thief — possibly the same man — mugged a woman for $22 at around 1:20 am on the block between Humboldt Street and Graham Avenue.
Grocery smackdown
A Wythe Avenue supermarket manager was beaten by two robbers who made off with $350 and 15 cases of beer on Nov. 12.
The manager told police that he was minding the store between South Eighth Street and Broadway at 5 pm when two men came in and started punching him.
The assault left the manager with three chipped teeth.
Masked offenders
Two masked gunman forced their way into a Devoe Street apartment — and tied up the tenant with video game power cords before stealing the games themselves on Nov. 11.
The robbers tied the man’s feet and hands after finding him there when they broke into the apartment, which is between Olive and Judge streets, at 3 pm.
They later made off with two laptops, an Xbox 360, a Wii machine, an iPhone, and $200.
Burgs in the burg
At least four homes were burglarized this week. Here are the details:
• A thief forced open a door of a woman’s apartment on Grand Street between Graham Avenue and Humboldt Street at around 3:15 pm on Nov. 11 and got a Wii and several pieces of jewelry.
• A man returned to his Thames Street apartment at 2:30 am on Nov. 13 to discover that his bedroom window open and two laptops missing from his apartment, which is between Varick and Porter avenues.
• A man returned from work at 6 pm on Nov. 13 to find his Xbox, digital camera and iPod missing from his apartment on Moore Street between Humboldt Street and Bushwick Avenue.
An open kitchen window was all the inspiration a crook needed to break into an apartment on Devoe Street between Catherine Street and Morgan Avenue on Nov. 14. The culprit took $180 and a laptop sometime between 3 and 8 pm.
