60th Precinct
Coney Island—Brighton Beach—Seagate
Cut for cash
A brute with a blade robbed a Surf Avenue man on April 16.
The goon pulled a knife on the man in the hallway of a building between W. 20th and W. 21st streets in Coney Island at 11:30 am, police said.
“Give me the money — I don’t want to do this,” the thief told the guy before taking $214, according to a police report. But the victim got cut anyway — he scraped his knee after he tripped running from the robber, police said.
Wrong question
A punk punched a man on Brighton Seventh Street for asking an obvious question on April 17.
The tough confronted a guy between Brighton Seventh Court and Brighton Seventh Walk in Brighton Beach at 11:45 pm, saying “Give me your money,” according to police.
The mixed-up mark asked “Are you robbing me?” and the goon knocked him to the ground, police said. When the guy tried to get up, the brute socked him in the face, a police report states. It’s not clear whether anything was stolen, police said.
Double trouble
Two mooks mugged a random man on Brighton Fourth Street on April 18.
The victim was walking between Oceanview Avenue and Brighton Beach Avenue in Brighton Beach at 6:30 am when two twerps emerged from a light-colored sedan and set upon the hapless pedestrian, a police report states.
The pair pushed the guy to the ground and took $200 before jumping in their car and fleeing, police said.
No relief
A chump choked and robbed a guy as he used a Coney Island Avenue hospital’s restroom on April 17.
The man was relieving himself in a restroom on the second floor of Coney Island Hospital in Sheepshead Bay when a mugger came up from behind him and choked him until he passed out, police said.
The goon grabbed a wallet containing $19 and credit cards from the unconscious man’s pocket and fled, police said. The victim woke up 30 seconds later, a police report states.
Parasol-t
A lummox assaulted a man with an umbrella on Brighton First Street on April 14.
The victim was walking between Neptune Avenue and Brighton Second Lane in Brighton Beach at 1:45 pm when the umbrella-wielding brute bashed him over the head, police said.
The victim went lights-out and fell to the ground while the attacker fled, officials said. The man suffered a hematoma and cuts to his face, a police report states.
