Robberies

On January 19 at 9:45 p.m. a dispute between an uncle and a nephew at 417 Baltic St. resulted in a robbery, cops said. The nephew, 40-year-old Cherry Rudolph, took his uncles wallet and keys by "ripping" them out of his hands, cops said. Rudolph was later arrested and charged with robbery.

The victim said they began throwing at him as well causing him to shout, "I didn't do anything." Someone responded, "I don't give a f--k." The four males chased the victim down, and hit him with a stick and chunks of ice and punched him in his face, resulting in swelling and face cuts. The thugs took the victim's keys and blue coat, worth $150, but got no money. The thieves are still "at large," cops said.
