Food frenzy
A trio of troublemakers stole $740 from a Livingston Street fast-food joint after a dramatic battle with its workers on Aug. 13.
One of the victims told cops she was cleaning the shop near Nevins Street at 11:45 pm with her back to the entrance door when one of the bruisers grabbed her from behind, choked her, and dragged her to the counter. The villain then pulled out a knife and pressed it to her neck as he said, “Open it! What’s the code?” police said.
At the same time, another crook jumped over the counter and rushed into the kitchen, where he was confronted by two other workers. The three begin to fight and the punk stabbed one of the employees in the back and threw hot cooking oil at another one of the workers, according to a report.
The threatened worker opened the register and took out $740, which the three baddies took before fleeing on Elm Street.
Dirty crook
A brute bashed a man as he was washing his hands in the bathroom of the Jay Street-Metrotech subway station on Aug. 5.
The victim told police he was giving his phalanges a rinse in the station’s restroom near Willoughby Street at 5:40 pm when the goon came up from behind him, punched him in the face, and fled.
The unsuspecting victim was left with a swollen and bleeding nose, according to a report.
Slash back
Cops cuffed a guy who they say tried to rob a man on Adams Street on Aug. 11, but only scored a cut to his arm.
The suspect allegedly confronted the victim near Fulton Street at 2:30 pm and saidm, “Give me your money,” police said.
The suspect and victim then got into a physical fight and the victim pulled out a knife and slashed his opponent on the right arm to defend himself, cops say.
Ach nein!
Police arrested a man who they say stole a guy’s German-made motorcycle while it was parked overnight on Clinton Street on Aug. 7.
The victim told authorities he parked his two-wheeled Beemer on the pavement near Schermerhorn Street at 6:45 pm, but when he returned at 5:30 am the next day, it was gone.
