Police are looking for several men who pistol whipped and robbed a victim inside an apartment at the Alfred E. Smith Houses early Sunday morning.

The incident happened at 182 South Street at around 3 a.m. Cops say a male resident of the apartment heard a knock at his door. When he answered, four masked men burst inside. They beat him and tore through the apartment, stealing money and electronics. The resident was not badly hurt; he refused medical attention.

The victim, 47, told Channel 2, “I feel safe — everyone should be ok… Things happen, you know.”

UPDATE 10:31 a.m. Here’s a statement on the incident from State Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou:

Neighborhood safety is of the utmost importance, which is why this weekend’s attack and robbery in a Lower East Side apartment was simply unacceptable. Per reports, multiple individuals broke into a tenant’s apartment, beat him, and robbed him – all of which occurred past midnight inside a large complex that houses families, children and seniors. I call on the NYPD to bring a swift investigation into Sunday’s robbery at Smith Houses, and I urge NYCHA as the landlord to close any security gaps that could prevent these types of violent attacks at residents’ homes in the future. I look forward to working with tenants, my colleagues and the community towards ensuring the security of our lower Manhattan families is protected.

Police are looking for a man who posed as an Uber driver and threatened to hurt a passenger picked up on the Lower East Side.

The incident happened at around 1:30 p.m. on May 15. The victim, 24, had ordered an Uber car. She got in a black sedan that arrived at Mangin Street and FDR Drive a few minutes later. She knew something was wrong when the driver headed uptown, rather than taking her home to Brooklyn, as she had requested.

The man demanded money, and threatened to sexually assault and shoot her. The victim gave him an iPhone, wallet with $20 inside, a debit card and Metrocard, a jacket and a pair of gold earrings. According to cops, the woman escaped the car after the driver stopped for a red light on East 125th Street. She wasn’t injured.

Police describe the man as bearded, in his 30s with short hair and dark skin. If you know anything about this crime, call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (8477).

Police are looking for a suspect wanted in the robbery and attempted robbery of several women on the Lower East Side.

This image was taken by a security camera before he targeted a 23-year-old woman in an apartment building elevator December 23 at Columbia and East Houston streets. He ran off with her purse. Cops believe he tried to take items from women in two other instances, but fled empty-handed.

The first incident happened December 15th in a building near Baruch Drive and East Houston Street. A 26-year-old woman was approached in the elevator, but she fought back and he took off. At a building on Henry and Montgomery streets, police say, the suspect followed a 30-year-old woman into a stairwell and grabbed her from behind. He demanded money but she refused. According to DNA Info, he fled after the woman threw hot tea at him. In another incident on December 28, the man put an 88-year-old woman in a head lock after she left the Western Union on Essex Street.  He attacked her in the entrance of her building lobby.

The suspect is described as between 30-35 years old, 6’0″ and 170 lbs. If you can help with this investigation, call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
