Violent L train beat-down
Three dirtbags bashed and robbed a straphanger on an L train near the Bedford Avenue stop on Feb. 21.
The victim told cops one of the brutes first approached him as he boarded the train in Manhattan at around 1:20 am and leered threateningly, “Do you want something?” The victim moved down the train car to avoid the snake, but as the train entered the tunnel to Brooklyn, the same wretch approached him again and punched him on the left side of his face, police said.
The victim tried to fight back, but suddenly two other jerks joined in the assault and beat on him until he was unconscious, police said.
He came to at the Atlantic Avenue stop in a train that was moving towards Manhattan, when he realized his wallet, cellphone, and credit cards were all missing, authorities said.
The victim later found a fraudulent charge on his credit card at a Manhattan bar, according to a police report.
Rear window raider
A looter broke into a Clifford Place apartment through the fire escape window and snatched a bunch of electronics on the night of Feb. 17.
The victim left his apartment near Meserole Avenue at around 7:30 pm and returned at 9:20 pm to find the rear window leading to the fire escape open, authorities said. The victim told cops the window had been locked when he left, authorities said.
The bandit fled with a laptop, two cameras, and some camera equipment, according to a police report.
Electronics haul
A pirate entered a Humboldt Street apartment through the front door on Feb. 19 and left with a haul of valuables.
The victim left his apartment between Richardson and Frost streets at 12:30 pm and came back around 6 pm to find an iPod, a cellphone, a designer backpack, and a tablet missing, authorities said.
The victim told cops he had lost his keys earlier in the week, and his roommate had come home earlier and noticed the front door was unlocked, cops said.
