62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Break room
A gaggle of young goons assaulted a man with a water bottle at a fast food joint on 86th Street on Jan. 17, police reported.
The victim said he was on the stairs of the restaurant near 20th Avenue at 2:45 pm when he saw the ne’er-do-well youths lounging about the landing. He asked them to let him by, and they parted — but as he passed one of the truants struck him on the back of the head with a full plastic water bottle, cops said. The victim sought medical attention at Maimonides Hospital, according to police.
Take his word
A thug mugged a woman with the threat of a firearm on Avenue P on Jan. 20, according to cops.
The victim reported that she was walking between McDonald Avenue and Dahill Road at 1 am when she heard a voice behind her.
“Give me your purse or I’m going to shoot you,” the crook purportedly demanded.
The woman surrendered her bag — containing $80 — without turning to see if the fiend was actually packing, and he fled with the loot, cops said.
Order of operations
An apparently confused goon robbed a man on W. Eighth Street on Jan. 20 — and put on his disguise mid-crime, authorities stated.
The victim told cops he was near Avenue O heading in the direction of Bay Parkway at 11:10 pm when the unmasked marauder came up to him with gun drawn, and demanded his wallet and phone.
When the victim did not immediately comply, the lowlife tied a bandana around his face — which persuaded the victim to surrender his billfold and mobile device, cops said.
Hot-wired
A burglar swiped thousands in electronics from a car parked on Bay Parkway on Jan. 15, cops said.
The victim reported he left his vehicle near Shore Parkway at 4:30 pm and returned the next to find damage to his driver’s side door — and his collection of gadgetry — gone.
Van-dalized
A crook jacked a dollar van from 63rd Street on Jan. 18, according to police.
The victim said he parked his vehicle near 19th Avenue at 5 pm and came back the following day to discover it missing.
