68th Precinct
Bay Ridge–Dyker Heights
Battery bar
Someone got beaten up with a metal object at an 88th Street bar on Feb. 13.
The battered victim told cops that he was at Capri Nightclub, which is between Fourth and Fifth avenues, at around 3:30 am when someone started wailing on him. The victim was able to escape the scene and make it home, where a family member called an ambulance. He was treated for a broken jaw and broken teeth.
Wheel frustrating
Thieves stole all four tires off at least two cars last week:
• First, thugs hit a 2008 Acura parked on 64th Street between 13th and 14th avenues overnight on Feb. 7.
• Then, someone stole all four tires from a 2010 Infiniti on 62nd Street between 13th and 14th avenues on Feb. 8. The victim told cops that he left his ride at around 1 am and returned to a wheel-less car eight hours later.
Crime o’ Century
Someone stole a purse from a distracted shopper at the Century 21 on Feb. 8.
The victim told cops that she was shopping at the 86th Street department store, which is between Fourth and Fifth avenues, at around 2:50 pm. She left her leather bag on her baby’s stroller for a few minutes while she browsed the shelves, but by the time she turned around, her purse was gone.
The bag contained cash, cards and a camera.
