Hitting the bottle
A thug went on a bottle bashing rampage inside an 86th Street restaurant on April 6 — cracking a man and a woman on the skull with a beverage container, police report.
The victims said they were inside the establishment between 19th Avenue and Bay 22nd Street at 1:50 pm when the crook bashed them both with the vessel, raising a lump on the woman’s head while cutting open the man’s face.
Eye on crime
A savage smashed a man in eye with a blunt object during a botched mugging on Harway Avenue on April 3, cops claim.
The victim told police he near 26th Avenue at 12:10 am when the villain demanded his money. When the man refused, the villain bashed him in the face, opening a gash on the victim’s eyelid.
Bruised apple
A brute battered a 17-year-old on Cropsey Avenue for his iPhone on April 4, police report.
The victim said he was walking near 19th Avenue at 10:40 pm when the thug jumped him a punched him in the face repeatedly before ordering the minor to had over his mobile device.
“Give me your phone,” the lowlife said.
The young man complied, and the crook fled.
Tag team
A gang of goons roughed up a 15-year-old boy on 69th Street on April 5, authorities allege.
The victim said he was near Bay Parkway on his way home from his girlfriend’s house at 10:30 pm when the five fiends came up and told him to empty his pockets.
When the kid refused, one of the bullies grabbed and held him while the others took turns punching him. The crooks then shoved him on the ground and took off. The boy suffered a broken thumb and needed several stitches to close a wound on his forehead.
Con-ed
A pair of scammers posed as utility workers to rob two elderly women inside a Bay 11th Street apartment complex on April 3.
The first victim said that the two tricksters came up to her at 1:35 pm while she was putting her trash outside her building between Bath and Cropsey avenues, and told her that a pipe had busted down the block and that they needed to check her water. The senior let the men into her home, and while she showed one around, the other broke into her dresser and stole $1,000 in cash from inside.
The swindlers then went to one of the neighboring apartments and told the tenant the same spiel. Again, while the woman ushered one man around her home, the other swiped her jewelry.
Both perps escaped through the basement exit.
