Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men? Not inside Bruce Ratner's Fort Greene malls.
Running wild
Two thugs held a group of friends at knifepoint at the Buffalo Wild Wings on Flatbush Avenue on Dec. 13.
One 17-year-old victim told police that he was with two pals at the barbecue joint in the crime-riddled Atlantic Terminal Mall when one of the goons flashed a blade and said, “If you have anything, give it to me. Not my fault if you get stabbed.”
The crook found empty pockets, and his accomplice punched one of the other victims in the back of the head and broke his eyeglasses.
Police are seeking two suspects.
...Target-ed
A mother tried to steal goods from the Flatbush Avenue Target on Dec. 14, but was nabbed by a cop on her way out, police said.
The employee told cops that the woman and her daughter entered the store at midnight and allegedly left a half-hour later without paying.
