Train attack
Some goon robbed — and then beat — a 51-year-old man on board a train departing from the Stillwell Avenue stop on Nov. 23, taking his phone and cash.
The victim told police that he had boarded a train departing the station near Surf Avenue at 5:50 am, when the crook approached upon his taking a seat. The thief stood, looming above him, before he grabbed the poor fellow by his lapel and pulled him to his feet.
The goon then went through the man’s pockets, removing a cellphone and his wallet, according to police. After looting his pockets, the crook slugged his victim in the face and kicked him once for good measure, before fleeing, cop said.
Knee capped
Cops are hunting a gunman wanted for blasting a 37-year-old man in both legs on Mermaid Avenue on Nov. 26.
The victim told police he was near W. 31st Street at 1:15 am when the rapscallion stalked up to him and leveled his pistol.
“This is a robbery. Give it up!” the bandit screeched.
Without further warning, the ogre opened fire, shredding the victim’s legs with hot lead, according to police.
Punk punched
Two teen punks sucker-punched a 13-year-old boy and took his phone on Oceanview Avenue on Nov. 28.
The victim told police that she was between Ocean Parkway and Brighton First Street at 5:40 pm when the brutes cornered him and fed him a knuckle sandwich.
The thieves snatched his cellphone, and ordered the poor boy to delete his information on the cell, but the kid wasn’t able to figure it out, and the crooks fled, according to police.
Park and beat
Cops arrested a man who they say brutally beat and robbed a woman inside a Brightwater Court parking lot on Nov. 28.
The victim told police that she was in a car in the lot between Brighton Fourth and Brighton Fifth streets at 12:15 pm when the suspect grabbed her head and started smashing it against the dashboard.
The man then dragged her out of the car, by her hair, before punching, kicking, and body slamming her onto the ground, cops said. The man then snatched her purse, containing $25, according to police.
Bad delivery
Two goons beat and robbed a delivery man on Banner Avenue on Nov. 28, taking his cash.
The victim told police that he was dropping something off at the building between Brighton Sixth and Brighton Seventh streets at 10:15 pm, when one of the thieves ambushed him from behind and placed him in a choke hold. Another man then slugged him in the face, before looting the victim’s pockets and taking his cash, cops said.
Home invaded
Cops busted two men for allegedly wiping the floor with a man inside his 28th Avenue apartment in the early morning of Nov. 26.
The victim told police he was inside his home between Bath and Harway avenues at 4:05 am when the suspects began banging on his front door. The nogoodniks then left for a while, only to return and rip the door of its hinges, cops said.
The victim attempted to defend himself from his attackers with a broken bottle, but was ultimately overcome. The victim suffered a broken right hand in the attack and multiple cuts caused by broken glass, according to police.
