Creepy break-in
A good-for-nothing broke into a woman’s Bath Avenue apartment through a rear window on Nov. 7, then spooked the occupant and fled before taking anything.

Low blow
Police arrested two teenage boys who assaulted a woman by punching her in the face after they attempted to steal from her on W 10th Street on Nov. 11.
The boys approached the woman around 7:50 pm at Avenue P, where they grabbed her by the arm and demanded money. When she refused and said she had no money, they asked for her cell phone. And when she refused to hand that over, the boys punched her in the face, causing pain and a nosebleed. They fled on foot, but the victim was able to lead police to the pair of perps, who were then cuffed.
