Teenage terrors

Police arrested a 16-year-old boy who they say robbed a man with several other teens on Avenue M on March 4 — taking his phone and eye glasses.

The victim told police that he was near 102nd Street at 3:30 pm when the suspect and a pack of teenage goons attacked him. The suspect and his accomplices allegedly beat the man mercilessly, throwing him to the ground and assailing him with a flurry of blows.

During the attack, both the man’s glasses and phone fell from his pockets and were quickly scooped up by the suspect’s accomplices, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes.

Machete madman

An 18-year-old man was arrested for threatening a woman with a machete on E. 88th Street on March 6.

The victim told police that she was between Flatlands Avenue and Avenue J at 4:10 pm when the suspect drew a machete and started barking threats.

“I’m going to f--- you up,” the suspect allegedly barked.

Home invaded

Cops arrested three men for robbing a woman at gunpoint inside her Flatlands Fifth Street home on Nov. 21 — taking jewelry, cash, and a laptop.

The victim told police that she was inside her home between E. 105th and E. 108th streets at 4 pm when the three suspects let themselves in and said they were going to rob her.

One of the suspects then brandished a firearm, while the other two began kicking down doors in their search of loot, according to Hynes.
