88th Precinct
Fort Greene–Clinton Hill
Where is the glove?
Some cretin punched a peace officer with a spiky glove after he was caught trying to ride the subway for free at a Flatbush Avenue station on Jan. 26.
The bozo had crawled under the turnstile at Nevins Street Station at 7:20 pm without paying his fare when the peace officer stopped him, police said. He refused to cooperate with the officer and resisted arrest by kicking and flailing his arms, according to a report.
The jerk also struck the officer on the right side of his face with a closed fist while wearing a glove with metal-studded spikes, causing visible injury, cops said.
Bag, please?
A pair of punks requested a woman hand over her bag on Greene Avenue on Jan. 29 — then pinched it when she refused.
The victim told police she was strolling near Cambridge Place at 9:55 pm when two guys approached her from behind, asking for her bag. She told them “no,” but one of the cads grabbed her purse from her shoulder anyway.
Her wallet — which contained $20, credit cards, and a debit card — toppled out of the bag and he picked it up, fleeing to parts unknown, said reports.
School of hard knock-offs
A sneak stole a laptop from a Willoughby Avenue dormitory on Jan. 22.
The victim told police she left her laptop on her bed at 2:15 pm and when she returned to her room near Grand Avenue at 11 pm it was gone.
She said she has one roommate but she was not there that night, and someone must have entered her room without permission to remove her computer.
