84th Precinct
Brooklyn Heights–DUMBO–Boerum Hill–Downtown
Undocumented
Some wretch stole a bunch of important documents from a woman as she was boarding a train on Pacific Street on Feb. 20.
The victim said she was boarding a Coney Island-bound D train at 6 pm at a station near Fourth Avenue when a guy kept pushing in, saying “Excuse me.”
Once aboard, the jerk stuck his hand inside the woman’s purse, which was on her shoulder, and lifted her makeup bag, which contained her and her daughter’s passports, Social Security cards, and birth certificate.
The woman said the weasel got off the train before the doors closed and she stayed on.
Cell off
Authorities arrested a man who they say stole a phone from a straphanger and tried to fight him on a DeKalb Avenue station platform on Feb. 22.
The victim was sitting on the Manhattan-bound B train at 3:40 pm, checking his e-mails on his iPhone 6S, when a guy got on board at DeKalb Avenue station and allegedly snatched the victim’s phone from his hand, and fled onto the platform, according to a police report.
The victim chased the guy down and recovered his phone, but the showdown wasn’t over, cops said. The suspect allegedly asked him, “Why are you doing this to me? I did nothing. Do you want to fight me?” but the victim was able to hold the alleged thief until the police arrived, a report said.
Picked
Some sneak picked a woman’s purse while she was talking on her phone on Fulton Street on Feb. 22.
The victim said she was gabbing on her phone near Elm Place at 1:45 pm when she felt someone reach into her purse, which contained her wallet, money, and credit cards. She said she didn’t catch a look at the snake, who had fled by the time she realized she had been pilfered, police said.
Bad words, deeds
A foul-mouthed fiend held a guy up at gunpoint inside a Jay Street park on Feb. 26.
The victim said he was hanging out in the park near Tillary Street at 5:50 pm when the brute came up to him and barked, “Run your f—— pockets, do not make my s— hot,” then pulled out a gun from his front waistband.
The victim cooperated and handed over his phone and debit card, and the goon then walked out of the park, said police.
