Bloody lip
A thug beat up a man on Fourth Avenue and swiped his cash on Sept. 3.
The 24-year-old victim told cops that he was near President Street at 1:30 am when someone whacked him in the back of the head. He fell to the ground, and the thug reached into the poor guy’s pocket, snatched $200 and ran away, leaving him with a bloody nose and forehead.
