Bad trip
Some sneak snatched a woman’s bag containing her Colombian passport while she was riding a Bay Ridge-bound R train on Sept. 20.
The lady was aboard the train at 9:30 pm when it reached Court Street station and the doors opened, authorities said. The jerk then grabbed the bag between her feet and ran into the station, police said. She chased after him but the train doors closed, leaving her in the locomotive, without her bag containing four pairs of sunglasses, her iPhone, wallet, $100, and passport, according to a report. Walking and whacked
Police are searching for a bruiser who attacked a man while he was walking on Warren Street on Sept. 28.
The man told authorities he was strolling near Bond Street at 5 pm on the way to pick his kids when when he felt someone following him. The brute then repeatedly punched him in the face and fled, cops said.
Held up

The victim was riding the elevator to return to his wife’s apartment by Gold Street at 2:45 am, police said. The doors opened on the 12th floor and one of the baddies held a knife to his throat and snarled, “Don’t scream or call for help or I’ll slit your throat,” authorities said. The victim handed over his wallet containing $300 and the criminals fled, he told police.

Cashed out
