Both victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment.

GUNPOINT KNIFE ATTACK

Five crooks stabbed a 19-year-old man in a gunpoint robbery on South Street on Dec. 13.

The victim told police he was near Dover Street at 12:20 am, when the pack of thieves suddenly piled out of a black SUV, and one of them pulled a gun on him.

In an attempt to shield himself from the firearm, the young man grabbed one of his attackers to use as a human shield, but all that earned him was a blade in his shoulder after one of the crook’s accomplices atacked the victim with a knife, cops said.

The thieves then stripped the victim — literally — taking his hoodie, pants, and shoes, in addition to his $610 cellphone, according to police.

 

BIKE BANDIT

A thief stole a man’s pricey Mercier bike that he had locked on Pearl Street on Dec. 9.

The victim told police he chained his bike to post near Hanover Street at 8 pm, and returned the following day to find that his $1,500 ride was stolen.

 

SLEEPING LOOTY

Some crook nabbed valuables off a sleeping straphanger inside a subway train near Sixth Avenue and Broadway on Dec. 16.

The victim told police he had dozed off aboard the train at around 1:45 am, and awoke 15 minutes later to find his that bag, along with his wallet, headphones, and even his prescription eyeglasses were stolen.

 

PICKED OUT

A pickpocket stole a wallet off a 74-year-old woman inside a Broadway department store on Dec. 14.

The victim told police that she had been shopping at the retailer between 299 Broadway for a few hours when she noticed her wallet, which contained nearly $300, was missing at around noon.

The elderly woman recalled that a “suspicious” male had bumped into her earlier that day, according to police.
