Run Lola Run
A gun-wielding goon tried to rob a woman on Varet Street on Feb. 21, but she escaped, cops said.
The victim said that she was between Bushwick Avenue and White Street at 5:20 pm when the jabroni jammed a gun in her face.
“Give me your wallet,” he supposedly said. “All I want is your wallet.”
The woman turned and ran, and the mugger did not give chase, law enforcement officials said.
Trapped in the water closet
A bandit broke into a woman’s Meserole Street apartment on Feb. 21 while she was in the bathroom and trapped her in there, according to the authorities.
The victim said that she was using the bathroom of her abode between Humboldt Street and Bushwick Avenue at 7 pm when she heard someone outside the door.
She tried to open it, but the fiend held it closed from the other side, according to police. When she finally got out, she saw snow on the floor beside the fire escape a report says. A neighbor saw the scoundrel up the fire escape toward an adjacent roof, cops said.
To the point
Police arrested a woman who they say stabbed her friend in the cheek with a ballpoint pen on Gerry Street on Feb. 19.
The victim said that she was arguing with her friend inside of an apartment between Throop Avenue and Broadway at 5 am when her compatriot got steamed and threatened her with a butter knife.
The angry woman left, but returned to do the deed, cops said.
Operation fight back
A man was arrested for snatching a phone out of a G train passenger’s hand at the Flushing Avenue station on Feb. 17, NYPD officials said.
The victim said that she was sitting on the train at 11 am when the suspect grabbed the device as the doors opened up at the station near Marcy Avenue and Wallabout Street.
The woman jumped up and chased the accused, he threw the phone, cracking the screen, and officers caught up to him a few blocks away, according to a police report.
