Rock clock
A madman with a rock in a sock clocked a woman on Bond Street on June 29 before disappearing into the night, according to police.
The victim, a 54-year-old woman, was near Atlantic Avenue shortly before 1 am when the improvised-weapon-wielding maniac took a swing at her head, striking her in the face and leaving her with cuts and bruises before fleeing toward Pacific Street, cops said.
The victim refused medical treatment at the scene, according to a report.
Dozing
An unknown robber ripped off a sleepy straphanger on a Manhattan-bound Q train early on June 28, according to a report.
The victim, a 37-year-old man, dozed off on the train with his iPhone on his lap shortly after 5:30 am, and woke up as the train entered the DeKalb Avenue station to find that an unseen lush worker had swiped the smartphone from its perch as he slept, cops said.
Some pals
A pair of crooks attacked and robbed a woman inside a Duffield Street single room occupancy building on June 29, according to a report.
The two brutes, who police said lived in the same building between Willoughby and Fulton streets, were familiar with the victim, and knocked on the woman’s door at about 9:30 pm. But instead of saying howdy, one of the ruffians knocked the woman out with a blow from an unknown weapon to her neck, according to a report.
When the 24-year-old woman came to, she found the home invaders had snagged a wallet with $500 in cash, cops said.
Check your baggage
A patron at a Water Street bar lost thousands of dollars worth of electronics after a sneaky thief made off with his computer bag on June 29, according to police.
The victim strolled into the watering hole between Main and Dock streets at about 11 pm and set his computer bag down by the bar, cops said.
When the man checked on his belongings at 3 am, a malcontent had absconded with the bag and its contents — which included a Dell laptop, an iPad, and a pair of Beats by Dre headphones — according to a report.
Evil in Brooklyn
A heartless crook swiped a pair of bicycles from inside a Montague Terrace apartment on June 24, according to a report.
The victim left his Trek road bike and Orbea two-wheeler locked up to a railing inside his apartment building between Remsen and Montague streets, and saw them last at 8 am, cops said.
When the man returned from work, however, he discovered that some dastardly nogoodnik had stolen the pair of cycles, according to police.
