Queens

Now, that’s low.

Two men posing as utility workers surveying Queens homes for storm damage robbed and assaulted an elderly man in Forest Hills, police said.

The suspects (one of whom is pictured above) allegedly knocked on the 90-year-old’s front door near Queens Boulevard and 63rd Drive at about 1:30 p.m. Nov. 13 and said they needed to check for electrical problems.

Instead, the duo, believed to be in their early 30s, grabbed cash and jewelry and punched the shocked nonagenarian in the face when he tried to stop them, cops said.

He suffered a black eye but declined medical attention, the cops added.

A just-fired cemetery worker found religion — but only after allegedly trying to put his supervisor 6 feet under, sources said.

Sacked from his job as a groundskeeper at Green-Wood Cemetery, Adam Lorentz, 39, stormed out of the office at 1:20 p.m. Nov. 8 but soon returned, allegedly with a knife, the sources said.

He allegedly cursed his supervisor and stabbed him in the stomach, necessitating his getting seven stitches at Lutheran Medical Center, cops said.

Lorentz turned himself in five days later — with his pastor at his side — and was charged with assault, menacing, harassment and possession of a deadly weapon.

An off-duty cop was busted for allegedly driving drunk early yesterday in East New York.

When his Nissan Maxima was pulled over at about 2:20 a.m., Miguel Ocasio, 30, who is assigned to the neighborhood’s 75th Precinct, refused to take a Breathalyzer test and was arrested, sources said.

He then allegedly flailed his arms to try to prevent being handcuffed and wound up charged not only with DWI, but also with resisting arrest.

Take two rival gangbangers already at war over turf, and throw in a girl they both like, and the result is sadly predictable — one young man shot, the other arrested.

Law-enforcement sources say a 21-year-old man was walking with friends near Rockaway Avenue and Fulton Street in East New York at about 2:10 a.m. Aug. 12 when he and Lawrence Higgins, 17, got into it.

Higgins allegedly blasted his sworn enemy in the belly and fled.

EMS rushed the victim to Brookdale Hospital, where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.

Cops caught up with Higgins on Thursday and busted him on charges of assault, weapon possession and reckless endangerment.

Two men tied up a T-Mobile worker at gunpoint and looted his Clinton Hill store, police said.

The suspects (pictured here) entered the shop on Myrtle Avenue near Ryerson Street about 7 p.m. Wednesday, flashed a gun and then forced the employee to the back of the store before trussing him up, cops said.

They scooped up cellphones, cash and phone cards, police said. The worker was not injured.

Three cop impersonators robbed and beat up a man in Highbridge, authorities said.

Danny Paez, 39, and his accomplices allegedly approached their target at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday on Anderson Avenue near West 165th Street.

One snarled, “We’re police, and we’re gonna take your bag!”

But after doing so, the trio pummeled him with their fists before running off, court records show.

Paez was later caught and charged with robbery, assault, grand larceny and criminal impersonation, the court documents say.

His pals were still at large last night.
