Share on FacebookTwo thugs beat and robbed a pizza deliveryman at knifepoint on 13th Street early on Sept. 16.
The robbers ordered a pizza at around 1:30 am and gave a phony callback number. When the deliveryman arrived at the dropoff point — between Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West — the men hit him in the head and face and took $60 from his pocket and the pies from his arms. They fled toward Prospect Park, cops said.
The crime is horrifyingly similar to the mugging of a deliveryman from a Fifth Avenue diner last week.
