You Little Shits, I Hope You Stole A 40 GB Click Wheel
Two young punks (creeping Postism, sorry) beat up a mother running with her baby in Prospect Park and robbed her iPod from her:
Two boys robbed a Park Slope woman jogging with her child in Prospect Park yesterday, police said.
Laurie Maher-Samra, 35, was jogging in the park with her 7-month-old son in a stroller when the youths, who appeared to be 12 years old, attacked her near Nellie’s Lawn at 1 p.m.
She was running along East Drive in the park, listening to music when the boys attacked.
They ran up to her from behind, hit her in the head, snatched her iPod and fled, police said.
“I just didn’t think it would happen at 12:30 in the afternoon,” said a shaken Maher-Samra. “I was just surprised that they would attack a mom with a baby.”
She and her son were not injured.
“There were people around. It was weird,” she said. “It was a bold move. As a mom of a 7-month old, I should be able to walk with him in the park.”
The 78th Precinct, which encompasses the park, has seen a 30 percent drop in robberies over the past year, but iPod thefts have been on the rise across the city.
This is what I’m talking about.
