72nd Precinct
Sunset Park–Windsor Terrace
Long-distance call
A thief ran off with a man’s cellphone he “borrowed” at a Fifth Avenue burger joint on Jan. 11.
The victim told police he lent the crook his phone to make a call inside the fast food restaurant between 52nd and 53rd streets at 9 pm, but claims the fiend later refused to hand it back, and ran off with it after concluding his chat.
When police arrived, they found the victim drunk and unable to provide a description of the thief, cops said.
No arrests have been made in the case, which has been closed, according to police.
Expressway to jail

Police cuffed him at the scene, charging him with a misdemeanor drunk driving charge, cops said.
Low blow!
Police cuffed a 49-year-old woman for allegedly kicking a 30-year-old man in the crotch after he refused to take out the garbage at their 39th Street home on Jan. 7.
