A bruiser attacked a woman on Henry Street on June 22 and tried to steal her purse, but she managed to fend him off and he only made off with her phone.
The 63-year-old victim told cops she was strolling near Remsen Street at 7:30 pm when the brute approached her from the opposite direction and grabbed her purse. He pushed to the ground, cutting her elbow, according to a report.
The goon only managed to damage the lady’s purse during the struggle, but took her phone and ran, police said.

The victim told police she left her vehicle between Dock and Main streets at 3:30 am, but when she returned at 11 am, she noticed that her belongings were missing.
She was unsure if she had left her car door unlocked, but said that the thief made off with a Dior and Hermes handbag. The looter also took three laptops, one iPad, clothing, a suitcase, dufflebag, textbook, and Bobbi Brown makeup, according to a report.

Missed fare
A quintet of pillagers bashed and robbed a taxi driver on Livingston Street on June 21.
The driver told authorities he picked up five passengers by Boerum Place at 1:30 am. As he was driving, one of the jerks punched him on the side of the head while the second marauder took his iPhone, $30 in cash, and before they all fled, said police.
Wrong note
A purloiner stole a lady’s bag as she was busy singing karaoke on Willoughby Street on June 22.
Authorities said the woman was belting out some top tunes in the joint near Lawrence Street at 10 pm when the opportunist took her tote bag containing her credit cards, keys, birth certificate, and reading tablet, and fled.
Afternoon assault
A gaggle of goons with guns bashed two guys and stole their phones on Warren Street on June 23.
The victims told cops they were walking from a corner store to another shop by Court Street at 2:30 pm when five pirates approached them and snarled, “Where is your phone? Give us everything.”
Two of the bad guys flashed guns while one of the thieves took one of the victim’s wallet and phone. Another punk then showed his gun, punched the second victim in the nose, and pushed him into a metal gate, before fleeing, according to a report.
