Wild ride
A brute screamed at a woman, pushed her up against a window, and tried to steal her phone on a bus parked on the corner of Fort Hamilton Parkway and 92nd Street on Dec. 4.
The woman told police she was sitting on the bus at 1 pm when a man shouted “shut up,” pushed her against the window, and grabbed her phone and headphones. A do-gooder intervened and wrestled the woman’s property back from the baddie, said cops.
The lout jumped off the bus and fled toward 93rd Street on Fort Hamilton Parkway, officials said.
Would-be robber
A bicycle baddie peddled up to a woman and tried to swipe her purse on 14th Avenue on Dec. 3.
The woman told police she was walking to work between 63rd and 64th streets at 5:15 am when the man tried to snatch her purse. The startled woman fell back and injured her left leg, authorities stated.
The rogue rode off empty-handed, according to a police report.
Expensive taste
A thief busted into a woman’s apartment and raided her closet on 76th Street on Nov. 27.
The woman told officers while in her apartment between Third and Fourth avenues at 2:30 pm she noticed that her Gucci handbag, three Ralph Lauren purses, and a pair of Clark boots were missing from her wardrobe. The bedroom window that leads to the fire escape was loose, cops stated.
There was no sign of forced entry, officials said.
