Break today
A group of juvies assaulted a man with a water bottle at a fast food joint on 86th Street on Jan. 17, police report.
The victim said he was on the stairs from the second floor of the restaurant near 20th Avenue at 2:45 pm when he saw the ne’er-do-well youths lounging about the landing. He asked them to let him by, and they parted — but as he passed one of the young punks struck him on the back of the head with a full plastic water bottle. The victim sought medical attention at Maimonides Hospital.
Held up without a gun
A thug mugged a woman with the threat of a firearm on Avenue P on Jan. 20, according to cops.
The victim reported that she was walking between McDonald Avenue and Dahill Road at 1 am when she heard a voice behind her.
“Give me your purse or I’m going to shoot you,” the crook demanded.
The woman surrendered her bag — containing $80 — without turning to see if the fiend was actually packing, and the villain fled with the loot.
Order of operations
An apparently confused goon robbed a man on W. Eighth Street on Jan. 20 — and put on his disguise mid-crime, authorities state.
The victim told cops he was near Avenue O heading in the direction of Bay Parkway at 11:10 pm when the unmasked marauder came up to him with gun drawn, and demanded his wallet and phone.
When the victim did not immediately comply, the lowlife tied a bandana around his face — which persuaded the victim to surrender his billfold and mobile device.

Van-dalized
