Shout out
Police arrested a man after he was allegedly spotted trespassing inside a woman’s 51st Street home on Jan. 5.

Pipe down
Cops are hunting the five goons that beat a woman on 57th Street on Jan. 6.
The victim told police she was hashing out a dispute with a man and a woman between Seventh and Eighth avenues at midnight, when three of their friends crept up behind her and attacked, punching, kicking, and at point, cracking her over the head with a metal pipe.
Paramedics transported the victim in “substantial pain” to Maimonides Hospital following the attack, according to police.
Screwed
Police cuffed a man for allegedly attacking his ex-boyfriend with a screwdriver on 39th Street on Jan. 5.
The victim told police he has a court order of protection barring his ex from interacting with him, but that didn’t stop the man from bashing his face with the back of a screwdriver between Fourth and Fifth avenues at 10:25 am.
Police arrested the man that day on a felony assault charge, cops said.
High crime

Luxury lost
