Quadruple play

The Brooklyn Paper

A boy was robbed of his cellphone by four punks in some after-school misbehavior on West Ninth Street on April 11.

The quartet shoved the 17-year-old to the ground at the bus stop near the corner of Smith Street around 2:30 pm and ran off with his Sidekick.

Deliverance

A delivery truck driver was robbed in his truck on Bond Street on April 11.

Brooklyn Bridge Realty

The hapless deliveryman was shoved inside his vehicle by a hoodlum after making a delivery near the corner of Degraw Street at 1 pm. The mugger told the 60-year-old victim to “shut up” before helping himself to the driver’s $239.

Triple play

A sneaky trio pummeled and mugged a man on Degraw Street on April 5.

The gang attacked the 35-year-old victim near the corner of Clinton Street at 12:30 am, and bashed him in the face before stealing $60 from his pocket

Road rage

An irate driver resorted to violence against a woman who was standing in a parking space on Congress Street so her friend could park there on April TK.

The man driving a white 2005 Toyota backed his vehicle into the pedestrian, between Hicks and Henry streets, at just before noon. But that wasn’t enough for the brute. He exited his car, wielding what the victim described as a silver rod. He struck her several times with it, causing injuries, but the woman refused medical attention.
