A round-up of recent robberies in the area:

At 9 a.m. on June 9, a 46-year-old woman got into an argument with someone while inside the Tillary Street Women's Shelter cafeteria. She said the person insulted her and when she told the person to shut up, they hit her on the head with a filled plastic soda bottle. She was treated by a doctor for her injuries.

Police arrested Terry Moore, 30, for attacking a 23-year-old woman in a North Elliott Walk apartment. At 5:30 p.m. on June 15, Moore got into argument with the woman and then threw her on a bed. He choked her, threw her on the floor and banged her head. 

Police arrested a 14-year-old boy for chasing a man along Myrtle Avenue at 6 p.m. on June 15. The boy cornered the man at 163 Carlton Avenue, and pointed a gun at the man's chest. The boy pulled the trigger and when the gun did not go off, he hit the man in the forehead with the gun, cutting him. The man was brought to Brooklyn Hospital, where he received stitches. Police found the gun on the scene. 

Between 11:46 a.m. and 12:06 p.m. on June 13, a 23-year-old man said someone entered his Saint Felix Street apartment from the fire escape and took his laptop and headphones. Video surveillance shows a thin black man, approximately 6-feet-tall wearing a white short-sleeve collared shirt, blue jeans and a light green baseball hat carrying a backpack walk into the back of the apartment building and exit the building 20 minutes later. A woman who lives in the building said she saw an unknown man in her hallway and when she asked if she could help him, he ran away.
