76th Precinct
Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill–Red Hook
Not OKCupid
A brute left a woman battered in an apparent hook-up-turned-robbery at Hicks and Sackett streets on Oct. 25, police said.
The woman and her attacker met at a bar and were going to take the party to a motel on Bowne Street between Van Brunt and Richards streets, but before arriving, the lout made his move, according to a report.
He whacked the woman in the face, snatched her bag, and ran, according to police. The victim was left with swelling and cuts on her face, officers stated.
Whodunnit?
A guy showed up at his girlfriend’s apartment on Cheever Place after an afternoon at a bar on Oct. 26 and said he had been attacked, cops reported.
The 36-year-old man reportedly downed about five beers at a Smith Street watering hole, but there the tape goes fuzzy, an account states.
He showed up at his gal pal’s place between Kane and Degraw streets at 6:30 pm with no memory of the past hour or so, saying someone had attacked him, but he did not have the foggiest idea who or why, police said.
The man declined medical attention, per a report.
Open sesame
A burglar smashed through a building’s security gate on Warren Street and looted the mail room, cops said.
Surveillance footage in the residential building between Columbia and Hicks streets captured the prowler prying open the gate and making off with a tenant’s package, contents unknown, according to a report.
The main headache from the incident was the damaged gate, which will cost $7,500 to fix, police said.
Workplace drama
Police collared a 70-year-old man for allegedly taking a pipe to a co-worker’s truck on King Street on Oct. 29, a report said.
After some sort of dispute the man allegedly shattered the window of the vehicle parked between Van Brunt and Conover streets with a pipe at 8:41 am, causing $230 in damage to the 27-year-old victim’s truck, cops said.
Police arrested the man and charged him with criminal mischief, according to a report.
