Rollerblades suffered another PR blow on Sunday when the a dim-witted thief tried to rob a Brooklyn deli while skating inline. Around 6:15 p.m. on Sunday Igor Dubovoy allegedly skated into the Belarus Grocery at 495 Neptune Avenue, pulled out a BB gun and demanded cash. And then things got amusing.
After the cashier eventually turned over $100 bucks in twenties Dubovoy tried to glide out the door. And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling customers. See, some of the store's actual shoppers didn't like what the skater was doing, so before he could leave they shut and locked the door!
Police quickly arrived and arrested Dubovoy, charging him with robbery, menacing and possession of air pistols.
But what we want to know is this: When did New York turn into an episode of Reno 911!? Terry, is that you?
