Thief tries to rob man at fork point.

From the NYPD's daily blotter (no link):

Stick a fork in this guy.

A sloshed thief tried to rob a man at forkpoint at a New Dorp train station, sources said.

Luis Vasquez, 20, allegedly jumped off the westbound platform and crossed over both tracks to get to his victim at 1:30 a.m. July 4. He jumped up on the eastbound platform and allegedly began rifling through the victim's pockets.

When the victim started to squirm, the bandit whipped out the utensil and tried to stick him with it. He then punched him in the face and fled. Vasquez was charged with attempted robbery and criminal possession of a weapon, said a spokesman for DA Daniel Donovan.
