A gang of teenaged hooligans jumped three adolescents as they rode the L train on June 6.
Twelve ruffians boarded the Manhattan-bound train at the Grand Street station, with half entering the car with the victims and the other half boarding the next car. Once the train pulled out of the station at around 9:50 am, the hoods converged on their marks.
One of the thugs punched an unsuspecting victim in the face. When the victim’s friends tried to intervene, the random assault turned into a 12-on-three melee that lasted until the train pulled into the Graham Avenue station.
The hooligans stole a backpack, an iPod, a Nerf football, a student Metrocard and $18, but cops said they nabbed nine of the alleged miscreants.
L of a walk

Dancing fool
While a 22-year-old woman danced at a Meserole Street disco on June 7, a crook took her purse for a tango.
The victim noticed her purse was missing from the club, which is between Leonard Street and Manhattan Avenue at around 1:15 am.
Forty-five minutes later, the club manager found the purse in the men’s bathroom, empty. The crook escaped with the victim’s iPod, wallet, digital camera, credit cards, IDs, and $100.

The crook escaped from the apartment with three laptop computers, a wireless router, an iPod, and a change bank.
