WILLIAMSBURG — A thief stole several Apple computers from Vice Media headquarters in Williamsburg earlier this month, police said.

Video footage showed a man enter the building at 90 North 11th St. through a side door on Dec. 20 between 2:40 a.m. and 5:56 a.m., Vice told police.

The man — who does not work for Vice — blocked the door with a piece of sheetrock to obscure the view from the street, police said.

He then entered the office and removed iMacs and Macbook laptops, police said. It was unclear how many computers the man took.

No one has been arrested for the incident. A spokesman for Vice did not immediately comment on the incident.

Other notable incidents in the 94th precinct include:

► A man was slashed in his hand after a getting into a verbal fight on a Williamsburg street, police said.

The 28-year-old man got into an argument with a stranger on Sunday around 12:30 a.m. near Bedford Avenue and North Seventh Street, police said.

The attacker, whose gender was not identified, then slashed the man in the right hand with an unknown object, police said. The man was taken to Woodhull Hospital.

Police are still investigating the incident.

► A thief on a bike nabbed a man's iPhone and headphones, police said.

The 30-year-old man was walking down Driggs Avenue on Dec. 21, around 11 p.m. when a man biked by and grabbed his iPhone 6 Plus and Beats headphones, police said.

The man then fled on Driggs Avenue, police said. No one has been arrested for the incident.
