62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
It came from Jersey
A deranged man robbed a 23-year-old stripper who gave him a lap dance — after stalking her from Jersey to 79th Street on Jan. 1.
The victim told police that the patron paid her for a show at the strip club where she works in Patterson, NJ, and that, after she clocked out, he followed her all the way to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and then to 79th Street between 19th and 20th avenues.
There, at 7:42 am, the maniac demanded the woman’s money, then sliced her right hand with a box cutter, according to police.
Frightened for her life, victim forked over her earnings from the night, along with her Samsung Galaxy S5 cellphone, and the wacko finally left her in peace, cops said.
The woman doesn’t know the guy who attacked her, but told police she could identify him if she saw him, and that she’s hopeful surveillance footage at the strip club will give detectives the clues they need to track him down, according police.
Batter up
Cops busted a man who they say beat another fellow with a baseball bat on Kings Highway on Jan. 1.
The victim told police that he was between W. Eighth and W. Ninth streets at 5:21 am when the suspect started swinging and caught the victim in the head.
A police canvass later spotted a man fitting the description of the victim’s attacker, and the suspect was arrested after the victim’s girlfriend identified him as the culprit, cops said.
Bad trip
A man and his alleged 17-year-old accomplice were arrested for attacking and robbing a woman on Harway Avenue on Dec. 29.
The victim told police that she had just parked her 2005 Honda Pilot near Bay 41st Street at 7:55 pm, when suspects jumped her and started throwing punches.
The victim suffered several blows, before she was forced back into her vehicle, where the suspects soon joined her, cops said. Inside, one of the suspects took the wheel and started driving, while demanding the victim hand over her valuables if she wanted to be let out of the car.
The victim forked over a laptop, iPhone 6, and credit cards, and the suspects dumped her on Cropsey Avenue near 27th Avenue, before speeding off with her Honda, according to police.
Bible thumper
A rogue robber stripped a man of his valuables on Bay 22nd Street on Dec. 29, taking his cash, backpack, and even his bible.
The victim told police that he was between 86th Street and Benson Avenue at 10:50 pm, when the culprit approached.
“Give me the bag, or I’m gonna shoot you,” the scoundrel growled.
The victim never actually saw a gun, but he wasn’t interested in testing the man, and handed over his valuables, cops said.
Knife guy
A knife-wielding goon robbed a man on W. Seventh Street on Dec. 30, taking his iPhone 5S.
The victim told police that he was between Avenue P and Quentin Road at 10:10 pm when the villain snuck up from behind and drew his blade.
“Run your pockets,” the ogre barked.
The victim then duly relinquished his Apple device to the villain, who promptly took off heading south down W. Seventh Street, according to police.
Poke you!
A delinquent duo robbed a man on 72nd Street on Dec. 31, taking his phone, cards, and cash.
The victim told police that he was near 16th Avenue at 4:45 am when the scoundrels crept up behind him and threatened to “poke him with a knife” if he didn’t fork over his valuables.
Without further warning, one of the knaves slugged him in the face, then looted his pockets and fled, cops said.
