Miscreant muggers
Three miscreants mugged a man on New Utrecht Avenue on Nov. 30, said police.
The man told officers he was near 71st Street at 10 pm when three men approached him and one of the baddies brandished a small switchblade.
The trio of goons began punching the man in the stomach and swiped $80 off him before they fled on foot, according to a report.
Slasher
Police arrested two men for slicing up two guys with a gravity knife on Bay 22nd Street on Dec. 3.
One of the victims told officers that they were approached by the pair just after midnight between 86th Street and Benson Avenue when one of the suspects pulled out a blade and demanded their cellphones. When the second victim tried to help his friend get away from the would-be robber, the man slashed his right hand, authorities alleged.
The man proceeded to push the victim up against the wall and cut his face with the knife, police said. The two men fled down the street but the victims chased after them and were able to positively identify them for police, said officials.
Police recovered a blade and gravity knife from the two men, cops reported.
Purse snatcher
An opportunistic thief snatched a dozing woman’s purse on a Manhattan-bound D train on Dec. 3, said police.
The woman told cops that she was sitting on the train with her eyes closed with her pocketbook in her lap and the strap on her shoulder at 1:25 am when she opened her eyes to find a man trying to grab her purse off her shoulder.
The cad pushed the woman to the ground, where she slammed her head and became disoriented, according to a police report. The lout fled the train with the bag at the 20th Avenue station, police said.
The woman was taken to Coney Island Hospital for treatment, officials said.
Brutal beating
Five brutes viciously beat a man after he refused to hand over his money on 15th Avenue on Dec. 5, said police.
The man told cops he was walking between 68th Street and Bay Ridge Avenue at 7:20 pm when he was approached by five men and one stated, “Give me your money.”
When the man refused, the ruffians grabbed him and held him while one bruiser punched him in the head, said police. One of the baddies removed the man’s wallet during the beating, officials said.
The crooks fled on foot on 15th Avenue, said police.
