62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Wrong kind of shots
An argument at an 86th Street bar on June 13 ended with gunshots and two trips to the hospital, according to a police report.
The incident came to an abrupt end at the watering hole between 24th Avenue and Bay 37th Street around 12:40 am when a guy pulled out a handgun and shot two men he was arguing with, police said.
He shot man in the groin and another twice in the chest, sending both of them off in an ambulance, cops reported. Police later recovered the handgun and found shell casings from two different kinds of handguns.
Weak stomach
Two would-be bandits ran off empty-handed when their victim fought back during an altercation on 66th Street on June 10, according to a police report.
The victim told police he was near 14th Avenue at 11 pm when the duo — one brandishing a blade — approached and told him to run his pockets. The guy thought otherwise and tried to grab the knife from the robber, police said.
The mugger pulled back though, slicing the victim’s hand open, police said. The sight of blood sent the two brutes running.
Double team
Two louts robbed a woman on New Utrecht Avenue on June 8, police said.
She was near 63rd Street around 3:40 am when the pair appeared and asked her for money for food. Then one grabbed her from behind and pushed her down, according to police. They took some electronics she had and fled, she told cops.
Free ride
A thief drove off on a man’s motorcycle during a test drive on Benson Avenue on June 10, according to law enforcement officials.
The victim met the nogoodnik near Bay Eighth Street just before 9 pm to sell the bike to him. The buyer asked for a test drive, but when the victim let him take a ride, the snake just took off, according to police.
The guy chased the weasel in his car, but with no success — and the bike has no license plates, is unregistered, and has no insurance on it, making it hard to trace, police reported.
My mail
Some jerk stole mail out of a Stillwell Avenue apartment mailbox on June 8 and 10, according to police.
Police say the thief forced the mailboxes open and stuffed the mail into his pants to conceal them on the way out of the apartment building between 86th Street and Avenue T at 1:42 pm on June 8.
Two days later, had a lookout with him when he hit the mailboxes around 4:30 pm, according to the police report.
