Gentleman bust

Cops busted a man suspected of beating and robbing his girlfriend on Flatbush Avenue on Dec. 17.

The victim, 40, was sitting in his parked car between 13th and 14th streets at 2:41 pm when the suspect, shouting from his own double-parked car, yelled out that he would punch him “on his nose” if he didn’t move out of “his” parking spot, according to police

Helter shelter
