Dad to the rescue
A 19-year-old man could not shake a young panhandler as the Villager entered his residential building at 115 Christopher St. on Sun., Nov. 1. The stranger pushed the man against a wall and switched to robbery once they entered the lobby. He rifled through the victim’s pockets and removed a Panasonic camcorder.
When the victim attempted to retrieve the $300 camera, the mugger warned, “Do something and I’ll f— you up,” according to a police report, before leaving the premises.
But the teenager did not give up. He went upstairs and told his dad what happened. The duo then went back downstairs and chased the perpetrator down Christopher St. to Seventh Ave. South. They pointed out the suspect to a nearby police officer, who arrested him.
Damon Greene, 21, was charged with felony robbery. A search of his person revealed 31 little bags of crack cocaine, police said.
