Bad with kids
A scoundrel stole a woman’s purse in Red Hook Park on July 11 after vying for the affection of her infant.
The mother, 42, said the purse-snatcher was initially friendly to her baby, but grabbed her purse near the Court and Bay streets entrance to the park at 3:40 pm.
The victim tried to impede the thief by grabbing his shirt, but he freed himself by knocking her to the ground. The pocketbook contained $200 and various banking cards, as well as her driver’s license.
Can’t take heat
