Lad of the night
Cops cuffed a guy who they say mugged a 61-year-old man after jumping into his car on Bogart Street on Feb. 24 and unsuccessfully trying to prostitute himself.
The man allegedly climbed into the victim’s truck near Moore Street around 1:50 am and offered sex in exchange for cash, police said. When the driver refused, cops said the guy then allegedly pulled a knife and forced guy to hand over his coat before fleeing, according to a police report.
Swipe out
A couple of crooks violently robbed a guy who was buying a MetroCard at a subway station at Marcy and Flushing avenues on the morning of Feb. 26.
The victim was buying a card on the train platform around 6:40 am when the two goons approached him and one asked if he needed a swipe, cops said. The other bandit then bashed the victim with an unknown object while the first perp punched the guy, police said.
The victim dropped $50, which the dastardly duo snatched up before fleeing the station, according to a police report. Cops said the victim had wounds on his nose and forehead after the attack.
Black out
Some scoundrel robbed a party animal’s Meserole Street apartment when the guy passed out with the door open after a night of binge-drinking on Feb. 25.
The victim told cops he staggered back from a party to his pad between Graham Avenue and Humboldt Street around 4 am only to start raging again at his neighbor’s apartment. The guy blacked out and came to at 6 am on the floor of his apartment to find his door wide open, but nodded off again without checking his belongings, police said.
When he woke up again at 3 pm, he found his computer, his iPad, and $4,000 in cash were missing, cops said. The victim went back to sleep and finally reported the crime after waking up around 7 pm, according to a police report.
Shafted
Two miscreants mugged a guy at gunpoint in the elevator of his Moore Street residence on the night of Feb. 28.
The rogues followed the resident into the elevator of the housing complex between Humboldt Street and Bushwick Avenue around 10:40 pm, police said. When the victim got off on the fifth floor, one of the dolts snuck up behind him and pushed him against the wall, according to authorities.
One of the villains covered the victim’s face with his hand while shoving a silver gun against the guy’s stomach, and the other covered his face with a scarf while he held the victim against the wall, according to a police report. The baddies snagged the guy’s glasses, iPhone, and $30 in cash before fleeing in an unknown direction, cops said.
