‘C’ ya later! Three muggings in same subway station
The Brooklyn Paper
by Thomas Tracy
Forest City Ratner's Atlantic Center and Atlantic Terminal malls are doing their part to boost the crime rate in Fort Greene, despite the de-population of the Atlantic Yards footprint, which the Atlantic Yards Blight Study erroneously claimed was the breeding ground for neighborhood crime.
Cruel quintet
Five teens attacked a 16-year-old at the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues during a bloody Oct. 26 altercation.
The victim had just exited the crime-addled Atlantic Terminal Mall at 3:20 pm when the thugs jumped him, slashing open his face and hand during the violent exchange.
...We smell a rat
A thief swiped a pocketbook from a 19-year-old woman during a Oct. 29 celebration inside Chuck E. Cheese on Flatbush Avenue.
The woman told police she put her bag down inside the eatery, which is part of the crime-ridden Atlantic Terminal Mall between Hanson Place and Atlantic Avenue, at 5 pm. When she returned a half hour later, the bag had disappeared.
Workers found the woman’s bag later that night, but the iPod and credit cards inside were gone.
