Tied up
A pair of goons kidnapped a man, taped his wrists together, and robbed him on Debevoise Street on Feb. 9, cops said.
The victim said that he was near Graham Avenue at 1 am when the two toughs approached, one on foot and the other in a car. The one on foot pushed the guy into the vehicle and bound his wrists with brown plastic tape, according to the authorities.
The fiends took the victim’s wallet and demanded the pass-code, and when he tried to run away, one of them slashed his arm with a knife and shoved him out onto the street, officers said.
Emergency personnel took the victim to Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan, a report says.
Stop and Sock

Chatty

Backstabber

After-party gone wrong
A group of good-for-nothings who a guy invited to his Broadway apartment early on Feb. 12 stole from him and his roommate, a report says.
The victim said that he met two men and a woman at a bar and brought them back to his apartment between Keap and Rodney streets at 4:30 am. The fellows left early in the morning, but the lady stayed the night and the victim left her there when he went to work for the day, police said.
When he got home later that the day, he found his passport, Social Security card, and cash taken, along with his roommate’s credit cards and watches, per police.
