62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Bus bruiser
An irate bus rider beat up a guy on the B1 bus on 25th Avenue on April 13, police said.
The victim hopped on the bus near 86th Street around 8 pm and was passing the hothead when the fiend erupted.
He threatened “don’t touch me man,” punched the victim in the head, and then slammed his head against the bus window, according to a police report. He hopped off the bus and got away before police showed up.
Violent necklace robbery
A good-for-nothing bandit choked a woman for her necklace on Bay 16th Street in broad daylight on April 18, police said.
The woman was walking into an apartment near Bath Avenue around 3:30 pm when the guy came up from behind and started choking her and said, “I don’t want to hurt you, just give me the chain,” according to a police report.
He got the chain and fled towards 18th Avenue.
Taking out the trash
Some guy stole a dumpster sitting outside a woman’s Bay Ridge Parkway home on the night of April 16, according to police.
A neighbor saw a guy come and pick up a dumpster about the length of a full-size car from outside her home between 20th and 21st avenues around 9 pm that night. He was no sanitation worker — the dumpster remains missing.
Car thief had it easy
An opportunistic thief sped off with a car parked outside a Cropsey Avenue apartment on April 16 — thanks to the keys left in the ignition.
The victim parked his car between Bay 29th Street and Bay Parkway around 11 am and ran into an apartment for a few minutes, according to police. But when he returned to his ride he saw a guy get into his car and put the pedal to the metal.
