Gunman injures two in Graham Avenue pizzeria

90th Precinct

Southside–Williamsburg

Cheese Louise!

A desperado shot up a Graham Avenue pizza joint on Dec. 5, injuring two men, officers said.

The 45-year-old victim said he was inside of the pizzeria between Meserole and Scholes streets at 11:40 pm with some friends when he heard gunshots.

The slugs grazed him on his head, his right arm, and his chest, and a 54-year-old man sitting with him suffered a graze wound to the left hip, cops said. Police recovered two bullet fragments from inside the shop, they reported.

False premise

Police arrested a man who they say helped rob a Johnson Avenue variety store with three other people on Dec. 4.

The owner of the store between Varick and Porter avenues said that the two men and two women came in at 3 pm, and three of them peppered her with questions while the fourth, a man, took $4,000 in cash out of the front-desk drawer.

The victim saw and tried to stop him, but he pushed her to the ground and the whole group scrammed, according to cops. The man officers busted did not have the cash, a report says.

Break-in news

A burglar stole thousands of dollars worth of electronic equipment from a man’s Metropolitan Avenue on Dec. 4, according to the NYPD.

The victim said that he left his pad between Olive Street and Morgan Avenue at 10 am, and when he returned at 6:45 pm that evening, he noticed that the window near the fire escape was open.

He found a number of items taken, including his MacBook, Canon camera lenses, Canon camera, Blackmagic camera, GoPro camera, film, and an Olympus camera, law enforcement officials said.

Quick on the take

A wily cyclist stole an iPhone 6 out of a woman’s hand on Metropolitan Avenue on Dec. 1, officers said.

The 39-year-old victim said she was near Bedford Avenue at 5:05 am when the fiend rode past and snatched the device.

Goon fishing

A rotten robber attacked a woman and stole her bag on Cook Street on Dec. 5, cops stated.

The 27-year-old victim said she was talking on her phone between Manhattan and Graham avenues at 6:35 pm when the brute tackled her from behind.

“Give me the f—— bag,” he purportedly grunted as he wrestled with her.

The tough then punched the woman in the mouth and she let go of the bag, at which point he grabbed it and ran, according to the authorities.

The woman suffered a gash to her lip that required five stitches to close up, a report says.
