It’s blow time
A pair of subway dancers smashed a guy in the face with a radio after they got into an argument on a Coney Island-bound Q train near Flatbush Avenue on July 2.
The smashee was on the mustard bullet by Hanson Place at 5:20 pm when he got into a squabble with two guys who were dancing on the train. The straphanger then tried to grab one of dancers, and the other rug-cutter slammed him in the face with his portable radio to stop him before his partner punched the rider in the face and fled, according to police.
Red light
A brute threatened a taxi driver with a knife and stole $120 from him as he was waiting for a traffic light to change on Carlton Avenue on June 27.
The cabbie was stopped near Park Avenue at 4:20 pm when the filcher opened his passenger-side rear door, displayed a knife, and demanded cash, police said. The lout took $120 and fled to a nearby building, according to a report.
Early morning assault
Cops cuffed two guys who allegedly bashed a man while calling out homophobic slurs on DeKalb Avenue on June 30.
A report said the victim was between St. James Place and Classon Avenue at 12:50 am when a group guys approached him, and one struck him in the face, called him a f—–, and took his phone, according to authorities.
Officers then arrived on the scene and slapped cuffs on the two suspects’ wrists.
Bumpy ride
A cretin stole his $650 from a taxi driver’s cab, slashed his tires, and threatened to kill him after he was involved in a minor crash on St. Felix Street on July 2.
The victim told police he left his vehicle momentarily at 7:10 am to check out the condition of his car as it was sitting near Lafayette Avenue after the collision.
But as he was assessing the damage, he spotted the other driver swiping cash from his vehicle’s center console, authorities said.
The victim approached the baddie, who snarled, “If you come near me, I’ll kill you,” before proceeding to puncture his front and rear driver’s-side tires.
The jerk then fled into Fort Greene Park, where the victim lost sight of him, according to a report.
Missing bag
A reporbate stole a woman’s bag as she was waiting for the Q train at Atlantic Avenue station on Flatbush Avenue on June 30.
Police said the lady was in the station near Hanson Place at 8:30 pm when she put down her backpack containing her MacBook Pro, cameras, voice recorder, and hard drive. A short time later, she noticed the sack was gone, police said.
