Assaults & Road Rage In The 76 Precinct

Serious road rage:

A man got so tired of waiting in traffic on Clinton Street near the entrance to the BQE that he assaulted another man. On Friday, Jan. 7 at 10:56 p.m. the thug got out of his car and took a baseball bat to the car in front of him, smashing windows and hitting the hand of the 30-year-old male victim, cops said. The creep then fled up the BQE entrance ramp in a dark Pontiac with New York plates. The attacker and the attacked did not know each other, cops said.

Throwing punches for a wallet and phone:

On Sunday, Dec. 9 at 9:48 p.m. a 28-year-old male was grabbed from behind, thrown to the ground and punched and kicked. The attacker took a wallet and its contents worth $45, a Blackberry worth $100 and a set of keys. The victim reported swelling and lacerations to the face, cops said.

Simulated gun is threatening, too:

On Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 5:40 p.m. a 24-year-old male was robbed on the corner of Henry and West 9th streets. The thief simulated a gun in his waistband, but never showed it, cops said. The thief reportedly said "give me what you have" to the victim, before robbing him of $500 and "various paperwork," cops said, and fleeing in a black SUV.

Assault with knife:

On Monday, Jan. 10 at 9:30 a.m. on the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Nelson Street, a 16-year-old female listening to headphones was approached from behind and put into a chokehold, cops said. A knife was put against her neck and the thug said "If you scream, we're going to cut you," the victim reported. But before things could get worse a male passerby intervened, sending the attacker running toward Carroll Gardens. The attack resulted in minor abrasions on the victim's neck and left hand. She also recalled the creep had long fingernails.
