The brute, believed to be in his 20s, robbed two women in Brooklyn.

A serial creep robbed two women in Brooklyn early Sunday -- putting one in a chokehold -- and may be behind two other muggings, cops said.

The brute, believed to be in his 20s, robbed an 18-year-old after putting her in a chokehold on Belmont Ave. near Warwick St. in East New York around 8:20 a.m., police said.

He fled with her property and she was uninjured, police said.

About 10 minutes earlier and four blocks away, cops believe the same man pushed a 77-year-old woman to the ground after running up behind on Ashford St., police said.

The attacker made off with the woman’s purse and she suffered scrapes to her hands and knees.

Investigators believe the man may have also been responsible for the robbery of a 59-year-old woman and a 51-year-old woman during the spree, but details of those robberies were not immediately available.
