The 12 year old punk in Shomrim custody. Inset: the gun.

WILLIAMSBURG, NY — A kid mugger who preys on Hasidic women in Williamsburg held up a mother pushing her baby in a stroller yesterday — only to be nabbed minutes later by patrol, police said.

“Give me your money!” 12-year-old punk Shy-kym Samuels demanded — pointing the barrel of a disguised cap gun at the woman’s face — at around 9:45 a.m. on Wilson Street between Lee and Division avenues, cops said.

The frightened woman, 34, who had her 2-year-old in a stroller, gave him her purse.

The suspect, who police said was busted twice before for the gunpoint muggings of two other Hasidic women, didn’t get far. Members of the Williamsburg Shomrim, a volunteer patrol, sprang into action, catching up with the boy at a nearby school and holding him for cops. He was charged with robbery as a juvenile.

    I thought they would break bones or give him a free trip off the bridge…at least they got him so he can go through the revolving police door.

    they get the guts because they have role models that teach them.
    parents, brothers, uncles, friends…….

  • Re: me

    where’s the cop that needs his quota ?
    Here’s a real reason where are they?
    If it was a white kid you bet that he would have been facing a riot and would not get his toe thrue the revolving door.

    THEY BETTER GIVE THIS BOY THERAPY AND SEND HIM TO A PLACE FAR AWAY FROM WHERE HE WAS.
    he obviously is not being raised, he’s living with people who can’t take normal care of him.
    imagine at this age

    2000 volts for a minute or so, or a shot of sodium pentothal, is the only therapy that helps these behemas, who are born to addicted teen mothers and are sealed for a life of violence.

    Don’t worry big deal so he did a crime he went to jail come back out do it again big deal WELCOME TO NEW YORK. AND THE 12 YEAR OLD WOULD HAVE A CRIMENLE RECORD AS A HUGE BOOK. NO BIG DEAL.

  • anonymous

    Williamsburgh has a different police department not as bad as Crown Heights. And the people take care of the police so they take care of them never forger money talks and b—s— talks

  • poor kid

    looks like he’s going to juvee

    it’s not his fault though, bad education, bad upbringing, = bad actions.

  • Bill

    Be very carefull on this one… we wouldnt want Big al sharptoung to say that the boy was misstreated.

  • wow!!!

    its just like the other little kid who robbed a lady on President and Brooklyn a few weeks ago. This is getting out of hand. At least both punks were caught.

  • Dangerous...but, BH!

    lol, but something looks wrong with the picture (besides for the graphics). Usually the police will handle those types of procedures….. (imagine: “…sir, get your hands up against the gate, you try anything stupid and I’ll blow your br*ins, i.e. call for backup…!!) Why would a Shomrim member, unarmed take such steps – it could’ve been a real gun?
