Brewhaha
A grumpy goon threw his coffee at a man who bumped into him in line at a coffee joint on Avenue U on March 30.
The victim was in line for a coffee at the business near E. 66th Street at 12:30 pm when he brushed up against a grump with a chip on his shoulder.
“You’re invading my space,” the grump said, according to police.
The space-conscious perp pushed the victim, causing him to drop his phone. Then he snatched the phone, threw his brew on the victim, and fled in a white Mercedez Benz.
The joe-throwing phone-snatcher is described as a male American Indian with brown eyes who stands about 5-feet-8.

With friends like these...

Tab-let me go

The woman told police she was near E. 56th Steet at 9:30 pm when one of the suspects flashed a blade and demanded her computer, police say. When she ran, the perp’s lackies chased her before the cops broke the fracas up, officials said.
