A BICKERING BOYFRIEND was playing keepaway into the wee hours of the morning. 

At around 3:45 a.m. on Nov. 9, the 23-year-old was yammering with his 18-year-old girlfriend outside Strip House Steakhouse located on West 44th Street off Fifth Avenue. 

The warring roses led to the man thinking it wise to pull out a knife and then snatch the woman’s phone. 

He allegedly fled from the steakhouse scene and linked up elsewhere with a twentysomething crony where he handed off her device.

Cops tracked the woman’s phone to West 43rd Street and 9th Avenue where they found the boyfriend — but his accomplice, the blade and the phone were nowhere to be seen. 

The boyfriend was brought up on violating a court order of protection.

And his partner-in-crime slipped away and was being pursued.

HE MAY BE 65, but he can still do the man dance. 

A knife-toting, chain-swinging barbarian was caught raining down hurt on a cell phone dealer. 

At around 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 8, the senior allegedly ditched the customer veneer and erupted inside a Metro cell phone shop dotted on Westchester Square and Fink Avenue. 

He allegedly drew a knife and then started swinging a heavy metal chain to wail on the phone merchant. 

And just after flashing a blade — the accused roared, “I want my money back.”

He continued: “Don’t dial that fucking phone, I’m not playing,” to the other unharmed coworker. 

The phone call was to authorities and officers arrived with a quickness to cuff the suspect. 

He was taken away and formally hit with menacing, assault, weapons possession, and harassment.

HE PIGGED OUT on pizza. Then got lost when the bill arrived. 

Sometime around 4:45 p.m. on Nov. 11, 35-year-old man enjoyed an early supper at Motorino located on Broadway and South 6th Street. 

The suspect allegedly ran up a $135 bill after ordering various items on the eatery’s gourmet menu. 

He allegedly feasted on all the fare and then “did refuse to pay” for the meal when it was time to square it, the criminal complaint states. 

Workers dialed the cops and they nabbed the suspect. He was charged with failure to pay based on stealth. 

The dine-and-dasher pleaded not guilty at arraignment and is scheduled to return to court on Dec. 17, records show.

A HUSTLER ON wheels was caught conniving a clueless passenger and then after stealing from her — he roughed her up.

The 38-year-old driver of a white car was out hawking for fares outside JFK Airport just before midnight on Sept. 21.

He allegedly courted a woman standing in front of Terminal 7. She claimed to be waiting for her rideshare driver. When the woman informed him she already booked a ride — the suspect told her he could take her for $50.

She bought it.

After leading the woman to his white car, the woman entered. But once inside and as they began to leave the airport, the driver “continued to demand more money for the ride,” according to the criminal complaint.

When the woman resisted his inflating tab, the driver ripped away her purse and “removed $200” from it. Worse, the driver then locked the doors to prevent the woman from leaving his car.

In a huff, the driver dumped the woman out at the corner of Northern Avenue and 69th Street. It was far away from her intended destination.

And when the car was finally unlocked and she was able to get outside, she claims the driver “kicked her on the leg multiple times,” the papers say. He even cracked her suitcase when he kicked it like a soccer ball.

Investigators were informed of the rogue behind the wheel. And they pulled him over and showed him video to jog his memory.

The driver claimed he was doing his job and that the woman tried to duck out on the arbitrary tab.

"Yes, I remember the thing that was very much frustrating me,” he allegedly told the cops. “I wasn't recalling, but then once you said Northern Boulevard and Terminal 7 — yes, yes, yes — I'm definitely sure I picked up a passenger from there.”

He added:”I had a dispute over it; she didn't pay me."

They subsequently believed the woman and not the driver. He was pinched for robbery, assault, unlawful imprisonment, criminal mischief, fraudulent accosting, and harassment.

He’s since denied the rap and must be back in court on Jan. 20.

SHE CAN’T GET enough of the big bullseye.

A 29-year-old woman was busted twice in the past three months five-finger-discounting the shelves of two Target stores.

The suspect, who had been trespassed from the Richmond Avenue chain store in August returned anyway.

Authorities say she entered the big box bazaar at around 9 p.m. on Sept. 9. She allegedly grabbed two liquid IVs, a Stanley mug, foot powder and some munchies including a cinnamon roll and a cupcake for good measure.

The woman was charged with petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, and trespass.

Despite the case pending in the courts, the same woman allegedly returned to a Target store on Veterans Road West at around 2 p.m. on Nov. 7.

The woman was captured on CCTV helping herself to a tote bag, tights, bra, and some socks — and when she checked out she failed to pay for the items.

She was stopped when she attempted to skulk off.

Authorities hit her with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
