I see ya
A furniture-loving thief tried to abscond with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise from a Beard Street store on July 25, but it wasn’t his lucky day, cops said.
The man was trying to leave the Red Hook store with stolen goods when an employee confronted him, a report stated. The 37-year-old suspect assaulted the employee in his rush to get away, but didn’t manage to leave the store, according to cops, who found him at 10:52 am and charged him with robbery, petty larceny, and criminal possession of stolen goods.
Stranger danger
Three wannabe toughs jumped a man on Smith Street on July 19, police said.
The man was trying to hail a cab near Ninth Street at 3:30 am when three young men he didn’t know approached him, a report stated.
“Hey stranger!” yelled one of the guys, before clocking the victim in the face, according to the report. A second brute grabbed the 26-year-old man’s bag, while the third ruffian kicked him twice in the stomach, police said. The perps made off with a credit card and $60 in cash, the report said.
The victim was transported to Long Island College Hospital, where he received seven stitches above his right eyebrow, police said.
