Coney Island—Brighton Beach—Seagate

Fight near Boardwalk

A 20-year-old was cuffed for punching another person repeatedly, even after his victim fell to the ground, on a Mermaid Avenue sidewalk on Aug. 31, police said.

The alleged assaulter also kicked his victim — giving him cuts on his mouth, brusing and swelling in his eye, and substantial pain — during the attack that drew a crowd near W. 17th Street at 10 pm, police said.

Good girl gone bad?

An 18-year-old woman was arrested for threatening another person with a knife after the victim didn’t lend the teen her cellphone on Brighton Beach Avenue, police said.

Police say the young woman was near near Ocean Parkway at 7 pm when asked to use the stranger’s phone so she could call her mother.

Glass house

A 36-year-old woman repeatedly stole objects from another woman — and even tried to take the eyeglasses off her face — on W. 35th Street on Aug. 29, police said.

The perp, who allegedly took the victim’s backpack, iPhone, and a bag of her clothes from her home between Neptune and Mermaid avenues on repeated occasions, punched her victim to steal her eyeglasses, according to reports.
