Throw up throw down

Bar employees and drinkers pummeled a reveler who had a bit too much to drink on July 18.

The nauseating night started when the 28-year-old victim — who had been enjoying an evening with his girlfriend at the Bushwick Country Club — began vomiting while seated at the bar at around 2:45 am.

A bar staffer attempted to shoo the hurling hooligan from the Grand Street venue, but the upchucking Brooklynite vomited on the employee’s shirt, police reports indicate.

That’s when this story goes from disgusting to dangerous.

After forcing the spewer out of the venue, a female bartender doused the victim in water and struck him in the head with a plastic bucket — leaving a laceration that required seven stitches, cops said.

Then a gang of drinkers from the bar roughed up the victim on the sidewalk in front of the venue, which is between Lorimer and Leonard streets.

Sirens’ slug

Four women lured an 18-year-old victim into a park on Rodney Street on July 18 — only to lead him to a vicious beating.

The sirens told the victim, who was returning from the Mt. Carmel Feast around 10:30 pm, to follow them to the green space at the corner of S. Fourth Street. But when the victim entered the park, he encountered eight men armed with bottles and baseball bats.

The victim tried to run away, but the assailants tripped him and attacked him, leaving the man with a puncture wound and deep cuts to the back of his head that required stitches.

Carjack attack!

A gang of armed carjackers heisted a Mazda and a van on Porter Avenue just after midnight on July 17.

A pair of crooks — who arrived at the scene of the crime on a motorcycle — pulled a gun on a 60-year-old driver as he parked his four-door sedan between Harrison Place and Ingraham Street.

The thieves forced the wheelman and his passengers out of the car and made off with the Mazda.

Meanwhile, a third crook pointed a firearm at two workers who were loading goods into a white Ford van on the same block.

“Don’t move, give me the keys to [the] van!” the crook shouted.

The witnesses handed over the keys and the robber drove off in the van.

Big break in

Crooks stole everything they could from a Maspeth Avenue apartment on July 16 — including the victim’s car!

The thieves burst through the front door of the residence between 6:45 pm and 11:15 pm and grabbed a 37-inch television, checkbook, $100, two laptops and three iPods. They also stole the victim’s car keys and made off with his Honda Pilot, which was parked in front of the residence between Humboldt and Olive streets.

Heavy metal

Cops nabbed a burglar suspected of heisting scrap metal from a Grand Street construction site on July 20.

Witnesses spotted the crook cut a chain to get into the construction site at around 8:10 pm and haul scrap metal — valued at $1,000 — to his car.

But police locked up a 25-year-old suspect at the scene of the crime, which is between Roebling Street and Driggs Avenue.

Beat thieves

Hip hop hooligans stole a drum machine from a Thames Street recording studio overnight on July 19.

The culprits broke into the loft, which is between Porter and Knickerbocker avenues, and grabbed the beat maker — valued by cops at $1,700.

The crook got into the loft between 4 pm on Sunday and 4 pm the following day, perhaps through an unlocked rear window, cops said.

Sour dreams

A burglar raided a Graham Avenue apartment overnight on July 19 — while the resident was asleep!

The crook got into the apartment, which is between Scholes and Meserole streets, through an unlocked rear window between 11:30 pm and 8 am the following day.

Once inside, the thief heisted a Motorola cellphone, Dell laptop, Panasonic digital camera, and a black leather wallet.

Vicious cyclist

A two-wheeled bandit snatched a 22-year-old woman’s cellphone in a July 18 bike-by mugging.

The thief — riding a “yellow and black Mongoos-type bicycle” according to police reports — grabbed the Blackberry phone from the victim’s hands near the corner of Devoe and Lorimer streets at around 5 pm.

Purse-loined

Cops caught two purse-snatchers suspected of robbing a 31-year-old on Hooper Street at around midnight on July 17.

The thieves allegedly heisted a bag containing keys, an iPod, and wallet from the victim on the block between S. First and S. Second streets, then fled in opposite directions.

But police canvassed the neighborhood and nabbed one crook on the corner of Hewes and South Third streets and the other on Flushing Avenue and Throop Street — both in possession of the victim’s belongings.

Keep street

A crook held up a 26-year-old woman at the corner of Keap and South Second streets on July 20.

The thief approached the victim from behind at around 1:15 am and grabbed her passport, credit cards, cellphone, keys, and Metrocards.

Traveler’s wrecks

A crook picked the lock to get into a Grand Street apartment while the resident was away between July 17 and 19.

Once inside the residence, which is between Humboldt Street and Graham Avenue, the crook stole a laptop, an MP3 player, and a camera.
