62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Punch-drunk
A pair of punks beat up and robbed a drunk guy who was walking along Bay Ridge Parkway on Aug. 29.
The victim, who reports state was “highly intox[icated],” was strolling between 66th and 67th streets in Mapleton at 1:25 am when two goons ran up and started punching him in the face, police said.
After the beat-down, the pair puled $100 from the man’s pocket and fled the scene, reports state.
Sour deal
Four cretins stole cash, a phone, and ice cream cones from a snack vendor on Shore Parkway on Aug 27.
The fearsome foursome ordered ice cream from the purveyor of sweets who was selling treats between Bay Parkway and 24th Avenue in Bath Beach at 5:50 pm, but rather than pay the man, the group pushed him to the ground and took $100 and a cellphone from his pocket, police said.
Rocky wannabe
A grumpy but proud Italian beat on two car crash victims and stole their phones on 83rd Street on Aug. 22.
The two victims had just been in a car crash and were exchanging insurance information on the side of the road between 16th and 17th avenues in Bensonhurst at 5:17 pm when a man uninvolved in the accident got in their faces, police said.
The man said, “Don’t f— with the Italians — I’ll cut you,” and whipped out a blade, law enforcement sources said. The two victims pulled out their phones in order to video tape the spectacle, but that set the deranged man off, and he began punching the two men, reports state.
One victim dropped his phone and the brute pried the second cell from his punching bag’s hands before fleeing down 83rd Street with both devices, police said.
Part-time crook
A job applicant stole her potential boss’s wallet during a job interview at a Cropsey Avenue business on Aug. 25.
The thief came to the business between Bay 17th and Bay 16th avenues in Bath Beach at 11:10 am to interview for a job, but when the man interviewing her left her alone in a room with his belongings, she took his wallet — which contained $350 and credit cards — and fled, police said.
The business’ security system caught the whole thing on tape, and the victim had the woman’s personal information because she filled out a job application, police reports state.
