Batters up
Cops cuffed a tough who they say bashed a fellow with a baseball bat inside a Brighton Beach Avenue shop on Dec. 24.
The victim told police the slugger stormed into the store between Brighton Fourth and Brighton Fifth streets at 9:50 pm and whacked him good upside the head. Cops later recovered the bat from the scene of the crime, according to police.
Vendetta
A gunman took a man’s phone in an apparent revenge robbery on W. 32nd Street on Dec. 21.
The victim told police the crook pulled a gun on him near Mermaid Avenue at 11:55 pm.
“You broke my boy’s jaw two years ago, give me your phone,” the pistol-packing perp growled.
The victim then handed over his iPhone 6S and $40, cops said.
Cigarette break
Two fiends robbed a man at gunpoint on Brighton Fifth Street on Dec. 22, taking cash and cigarettes.
The victim told police that one of the crooks drew a pistol and started barking demands at 6:40 pm.
“Give me your money,” the thief snarled.
The man handed over $120, but other thief reached into the victim’s pocket and grabbed a pack of Marlboros before the duo fled, cops said.
Call disconnected
A slime ball punched a woman inside a Brighton Beach Avenue apartment on Dec. 27 and then took her phone so she couldn’t call the cops.
The victim told police she was arguing with the man inside an apartment near Brighton 14th Street at 1:50 am. The quarrel turned ugly when the woman attempted to call the police and the lout punched her in the face before snatching her phone and fleeing, cops said.
Geriatric attack
Some cur beat a 75-year-old man on Neptune Avenue on Dec. 22.
The victim told police that he was engaged in a dispute with the 40-year-old dirt bag between W. 35th and W. 36th streets at 10 pm, a police report states. The argument reached its climax when the goon hauled off and slugged the old man in the face, cops said.
Mystery beat
Some villain bashed a man in the face with an unknown but very heavy blunt object on Mermaid Avenue on Dec. 24.
The victim told police the fiend suddenly cracked him in the head with the unidentified object near W. 33rd Street at 10:20 pm. He went to Coney Island Hospital for treatment, a police report states.
Cleaned out
A crook looted tools from a W. 33rd Street day care on Dec. 20.
