Fort Greene–Clinton Hill
Deli rampage
Cops cuffed a guy who they say beat up a Fulton Street deli worker and broke the store’s grill and microwave on Nov. 12.
The suspect allegedly entered the bodega by Lafayette Avenue around 2:03 am, punched the worker, then picked up a grill and struck him on the head. And after that, the guy destroyed the counter grill and microwave, police said.
Fake and shake
A charlatan robbed a taxi driver after trying to pass him fake money on Washington Avenue on Nov. 11.
The driver told police he picked up the fare at 11:50 pm and dropped him off near Fulton Street when the lout handed over $20 in forged currency.
The driver confronted the con man about his counterfeit cash, but the faker then got real and pulled out a sharp weapon, hissing, “Give me your money,” before fleeing onto the nearby C train, according to authorities.
Senior snatch
A degenerate duo robbed a 66-year-old woman aboard a Prospect Heights-bound 4 train on Nov. 7.
The victim told police she bumped into the thieves on the subway at around 8:45 pm. They talked about their run-in, and then the goons exited at the Borough Hall station.
Once she got off at Nevins Street, she realized her wallet was missing, according to a report.
Closed off
A speedy sneak snatched a guy’s bag as the doors were closing on a Clinton Hill-bound C train at Fulton Street station on Nov. 8.
The victim was boarding the train near S. Portland Avenue at 12:15 am when the weasel grabbed his bag — which contained his medication — and dashed off, authorities said.
