The man told police that six men surrounded him at the intersection at 8 pm. One of the men jolted the man in the back with an electric stun gun, police said. The man was disoriented from the shock and was unable to fight the men off as they stole his bike, said police.
Suckerpunch
Police cuffed a man for punching a teacher in the face on West Avenue on Oct. 31, said police.

A sergeant on the scene arrested the man, a report stated.
Grab and run
Two goons attacked a woman and swiped her phone and purse on Stillwell Avenue on Oct. 31, said police.
The woman told police she was near Mermaid Avenue at 11:15 pm when a verbal argument with the nogoodniks turned physical as one of the men struck her in the arm, grabbed her cellphone, and fled on foot.
The woman dropped her purse to chase down the thief, but the other man took the opportunity to swipe her bag and run off, according to officials.
Vicious stabbing
Three brutes stabbed three women multiple times on W. 19th Street on Nov. 6, said police.
One of the women told police that she was waiting for her two friends near Surf Avenue at 8:10 pm when three baddies tried to steal her cash. The woman struggled with one of the would-be thieves and was stabbed twice in the right abdomen, said officials. Her friends arrived and tried to intervene but were also stabbed multiple times in the back and rib cage, said police.
All three women were taken to Lutheran Hospital, authorities said.
Pickpocket
A sneak thief pilfered an envelope containing $1,500 from a woman’s pocket on W. Eighth Street on Oct. 31, said police.
The woman told police that she placed the envelope in her pocket at noon and as she was walking between Neptune and Surf avenues noticed that the envelope was gone.
The victim said she suspects a woman who purposefully bumped into her on the block used the opportunity to swipe the cash from her jacket pocket, officials said.
