Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Senior disservice
A crook swiped a 90-year-old woman’s cash and credit card from her Colonial Road apartment on Nov. 5, cops report.
The victim told police she left her home between 91st and 92nd streets at noon and returned at 5 pm to discover $500 and her plastic missing — despite no signs of forced entry.
Barred
A trio of burglars tried — and failed — to break into an 86th Street basement on Nov. 13, according to cops.
The victim reported that she left her home near the corner of 11th Avenue at noon and returned an hour later to discover the burglar bars on her rear cellar window bent. A neighbor told her that three men had attempted to break in while she was away.
Stop and drop
A pair of punks stole $5,500 from a woman’s pocketbook at the corner of 66th Street on Nov. 13, authorities say.
The victim said she was walking home near Ninth Avenue at 12:40 pm when the two goons snatched her purse and dumped the contents on the sidewalk. The thugs grabbed her wad of cash, then scrammed.
Out on a rail
A fiend attacked a man from the train tracks at the Bay Ridge Avenue subway station on Nov. 14, police state.
The victim told cops he was waiting on the platform beneath the 69th Street and Fourth Avenue intersection at 12:40 am when he saw a man standing on the track bed. The two got into an argument, and the victim said that the man on the rails picked up a rock and hurled it at his head — hitting him and cutting open his cheek.
The wannabe MTA worker then leapt on the platform and launched into a fistfight with the victim, dropping his cellphone in the process. But when the odds turned against him, the villain allegedly jumped back onto the tracks and fled in the direction of the 95th Street station.
