On Sunday morning, a Yemeni immigrant was shot in broad daylight on his first day working at a bodega in the Bronx. He's in stable condition, sustaining an injury where he was shot in the hip. But the reason? The customer wanted to use his credit card to buy a loosie -- a single cigarette sold out of the pack -- and the unidentified worker denied him to do so (because a loosie is usually only 50 cents or so; nowhere near any credit card minimum.)

In the video shown above, released by the NYPD and uploaded to YouTube by Gothamist, the assailant is seen arguing at an unseen figure, and he gets physical for a second or two. Then, hours later, he returns, hood on and gun in hand, to seek vengeance on the worker.

This year, the Daily News reported that iPhone and iPad theft in New York City is up an astonishing 44 percent so far. The handheld devices, with users constantly looking down at them, are easy targets for thieves. 

And, in this video from Gothamist's Ben Yakas, taken by a NYPD surveillance camera, we see one of them in hot pursuit, caught squeezing out of a turnstile at the R train stop on Canal Street.

Good Samaritans, unite!

Marat G. Mikhaylich

These are the bank jobs he's sought for:
* Sovereign Bank located at 24-29 Jackson Avenue, Queens, New York on Thursday, December 30, 2010
* Ridgewood Savings Bank located at 8522 Third Avenue, Brooklyn, New York on Thursday, December 23, 2010
* Sovereign Bank located at 37-10 Broadway, Astoria, New York on Thursday, December 9, 2010

"This is a clear picture and anyone can speak up if they have seen this individual," says Special Agent Richard Kolko. "Mikhaylich's alleged behavior was reckless and incredibly dangerous. Anytime anyone enters a bank with their finger on the trigger, the worst can happen."

Kids! We like 'em, sometimes. Especially when they're dealing with the very frustrating situation of having their backpack stolen with their Halloween candy -- and their PSP -- in it. If you stole this poor little man's backpack, you should know that karma has a way of making you its bitch. C'mon, it had Thor on it.
