Held up without a gun
Two goons mugged a man on 79th Street on Feb. 22 without pulling a gun, police report.
The victim said he was near 19th Avenue at 11 pm when the pair of punks jumped out of a parked car, grabbed him, and started searching his pockets. When the victim resisted, one of the fiends patted his back pocket.
“I got a Gat,” the villain said, despite not drawing any firearm.
The terrible twosome took $100 from the man’s coat pocket, and one scrambled back into the vehicle while the supposedly armed one fled into a nearby building.
Red, black, and blue
A thug smashed a man’s nose on Avenue P on Feb 22, according to cops.

Domestic dispute
A defensive husband and an accomplice battered a man on 86th Street on Feb. 22, police say.

“You called my wife a c---!” One of the attackers yelled, kicking the victim in the face, police reported.
The assailants then fled toward 16th Avenue.
Murse snatcher
A crook swiped a man’s handbag on 17th Avenue on Feb. 20, cops claim.
