94th Precinct
Greenpoint–Northside
Took the phone, too
A knife-wielding robber attacked a woman on McGuinness Boulevard on Feb. 10 — and stole her iPhone and cash.
The 25-year-old woman told police she was texting on her phone while between Box and Clay streets at 10:15 pm when a man walked past her and then turned around and pointed a knife at her back and demanded money.
“Give me all your money,” the robber said.
She turned around and he pointed the knife at her stomach, then snatched her phone and ran southbound on McGuinness Boulevard.
Home invasion
A villain followed a woman into her Jackson Street apartment and stole her cash on Feb. 14.
The woman told police she was entering her home between Kingsland and Debevoise avenues at 10:20 am when a man pushed her into the rear of the building.
He threatened to cut her, pushed a knife against her face, pulled her hair, and slapped her several times, causing scratches. He took money out of her rear-right pants pocket, told her he would kill her if she called 911, and then ran away, according to investigators.
