78th Precinct
Park Slope
Taste of gunmetal
Violent villains shoved a gun into a woman’s mouth in a robbery attempt after she parked her car on 10th Street in the early morning hours of June 21.
The victim told cops she had just parked her car near Seventh Avenue at 3 am when three toughs jumped out of a nearby car and attacked her on the street. One of the punks jammed the muzzle of his silver handgun into the victim’s mouth and told her to give them her money, cops reported. When the victim fell to the ground and covered her purse, one of the perps bludgeoned her over the head with his gun several times, officials stated.
Authorities say the pistol packers got into their vehicle without stealing anything and drove off in an unknown direction. One of the perps wore a white hoodie, cops say.
Red-handed
A knife-wielding lunatic slashed a man across the hand on the corner of Lincoln Place and Fifth Avenue on June 16.
The victim had gone to buy a sandwich around 3:30 am when a guy approached him on the street and tried to engage him in conversation before cutting his right hand with a knife. The victim’s injury was treated at the Methodist Hospital.
Cops say the victim refused to give more information and did not want to file a report.
Diner caper
Someone stole a man’s bike from his place of work on Fifth Avenue late at night on June 19.
Cops say the cyclist left his pricey bike in the parking lot of the diner where he works between First Street and Garfield Place, and when he returned to the two wheeler at 11 pm, it was missing.
Police watched surveillance footage from a nearby establishment and saw that a thief carried the bike out of the parking lot around 10:15 pm.
Crime of fashion
Some losers in sweatpants tried to rob a Nevins Street ice cream shop after hours on June 16 — but they couldn’t break open the cash registered, and walked away with nothing.
Cops say two men were caught on surveillance camera trying to break into the creamery at Union Street at 4 am using an object to bash open the front door. They damaged the cash registered trying to open it, but were unable to get their hands on the cash inside.
Surveillance footage shows that the men wore sweats, cops say.
