62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Hammer time
A trio of goons brutally beat and robbed a guy on W. Third Street on July 24, according to police.
The victim was between Kings Highway and Highlawn Avenue just before 5 pm when the one of the robbers pistol-whipped him in the back of the head, police said. He told authorities another attacked him with a hammer before they helped themselves to what was in his pockets — $600, his cellphone, and his house keys.
The three fled in a white car towards W. Fourth Street and emergency responders rushed the victim to the hospital.
Chin music
Some jerk attacked a guy with a belt while he was handing food out to homeless folks in a Bay Parkway park on July 21, police said.
The charitable victim said he was handing out breakfast to folks at the green space near Stillwell Avenue around 10:46 am when the belt-wielding bruiser struck. Police say the goon hit the victim across the face, bruising his chin. He then stole his bike and some clothes, according to a police report.
You snooze, you lose
A freebooter snuck his way into a W. Seventh Street apartment and stole a briefcase on July 22, authorities said.
The burglar climbed in through a window in the apartment between Quentin Road and Kings Highway around 10:30 am, according to police. The victim was snoozing at the time, but when he woke up he noticed his window screen open and his briefcase — containing some electronics and his passport — was long gone.
