62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Cut and run
A couple of cretins forced a man to hand over his cellphone while he was on Avenue T on July 16, but when he obeyed they threw the phone to the ground and took his money instead.
The victim told cops he was near W. 13th Street looking down at his phone at around 2 pm when he heard two men behind him tell him to hand over his phone, and when he turned around they cut his arm with a sharp object.
He gave the goons his phone, but they noticed it was broken and threw it to the ground, demanding money instead. The victim handed over the cash in his pocket and his driver’s license, then the perp fled on foot, cops said.
Phone case
A vile villain took a D train commuter’s iPhone at gunpoint at the 62nd Street subway station on July 18.
The victim was on a Coney Island-bound D train near 62nd Street and New Utrecth Avenue when the low-life pulled a black handgun from his waistband and demanded the guy’s iPhone 6 Plus, cops said. The perp fled above ground and hasn’t been tracked down, according to a police report.
Hammer time
Two hammer-wielding heathens smashed in a guy’s car window on 65th Street then beat him once he was out of the vehicle on the evening of July 20.
The louts, who were known by the victim, came up to the guy’s car while he was parked between 23rd and 24th Avenues at around 5 pm and told him to get out, then one of the perps smashed his passenger-side window with a hammer, according to a police report.
Once the victim was out of the car, he says one of the perps hit him in the legs with the hammer while the other punched him in the face, leaving him with bruises and lacerations, cops said. Police said the victim knew and identified the perps, but so far no arrests have been made.
Unsafe
A crook broke into a 65th Street apartment and took a cash-filled safe from a bedroom closet on the night of July 18.
The victim told cops the looter forced his way in through the rear second-story window of his apartment between 15th and 16th Avenues at around 8:30 pm and took the safe out of his bedroom closet, which had thousands of dollars in cash and a credit card inside, according to a police report. The perp fled through the backyard in an unknown direction, cops said.
