Sicko with a stick
A thug assaulted a woman on Withers Street on Jan. 2.
The victim said she was about to pass through the gate to her apartment between Humboldt Street and Kingsland Avenue at 6:40 am when the punk blindsided her, smashing her face with a stick. The crook tried to make off with the woman’s handbag, but fled after she started screaming.
Bluffing
A thug attempted to mug a man on N. 12th Street on Jan. 5.
The victim said he was near Bedford Avenue at 5:30 pm when the goon approached him.
“Yo, give me your iPad, or I’ll stab you,” the crook barked before attempting to wrestle the tablet from the victim. The victim, however, clung to the device during the struggle, and the punk, who was unarmed, gave up and fled empty-handed.
Padlock pinch
A thief plundered a bar on Berry Street on Jan. 5.
The bartender said he locked up the watering hole between N. Ninth and N. Eighth streets at 2:30 am.
