The victim was crossing Henry Street near Atlantic Avenue at 5:55 am when he got into a dispute with the two trash slingers, police said.

Looted
A thief stole electronics and cash from a tenant who was abruptly forced out of his Bergen Street home between Aug. 31 and Sept. 27.
The resident reported to police his landlord had ordered him to immediately move out of his apartment near Nevins Street on Aug. 31, as it was deemed unsafe to live in.
