Two news stories are developing this weekend that involve iPhone-related violence.

The New York Post is reporting that a teen is now fighting for his life after he was stabbed early this morning during a fight over an iPhone at a Fordham Heights subway station.

Apparently, the 19-year-old saw that a friend's phone had been snatched after the two fell asleep on a downtown 4 train. When he realized the phone had been grabbed, he spotted someone who he thought looked suspicious and began fighting with him over the missing iPhone. The fight made its way to the Fordham Road station platform, and the man repeatedly stabbed the 19-year-old in the face and chest. The suspect fled the scene around 4 a.m. The teen is in critical condition at St. Barnabas Hospital.

Let's Catch These Creeps: Two Wanted for Marine Park Sex Assault, Robbery

creeppic.jpg
Two scumbags attacked a 60-year-old woman on Tuesday -- one of them sexually assaulted her while the other suspect robbed the victim, cops say.

The first slimeball rang the doorbell on a Marine Park, Brooklyn business and asked whether the owner was available, "because he had some papers for him."

While chatting, the second sleaze knocked on the door. The victim let him into the biz, and he immediately put her in a chokehold. The first suspect picked up a box of files and left. He came back twice after that, taking another box of files with him each time. Meanwhile, the pervy perp pushed the victim into the bathroom and sexually assaulted her. The two crims then fled. The victim was hospitalized and released.

Now, cops want your help finding them.

A word of advice for would-be robbers: green hair might not be a good disguise.

In fact, it probably makes you easy to recognize -- especially if you attack the same store twice in two weeks without changing your hair color -- as happened with this Bronx bounder.

Cops say that this not-so-stealthy criminal walked into a liquor store at 3604 Riverdale Avenue on Feb. 20, around 11 p.m.

What happened next, you might ask?

Well, the clerk recognized him -- and his bad dye job -- because he had shoplifted there several weeks before.
