It’s the “Hangover” — in real life.
A Connecticut doctor allegedly kidnapped outside the troubled Brooklyn Mirage music venue described how he was taken on a wild ride by his possibly gun-wielding captor — including on a more than $6,000 shopping spree, The Post has learned.
Michael Bautista, a 32-year-old ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon from Norwalk, claimed he was taken hostage by a Bronx man going by the name “Tony G’s,” who threatened to shoot him if he tried “anything funny,” police said.
The suspect, Anthony Benjamin, 42, allegedly forced Bautista to traipse with him through the Bronx on July 22 and 23, for an excursion that included pizza and smoothies, as well as hitting up a strip club and a Foot Locker, according to law enforcement sources.

I guess wrong, again!! Still, gotta give a 10/10 for best impression of shag-rug-carpet-fibers-from-the-1970s. THIS is what you put all over the inside of your Dodge Caravan or VW Minibus (more likely)

The kidnapper could not drive stick shift so he had to recruit a 50-year-old to so it. Is that so Millennial or what? 🤦♂️

It is wise to not have unusual appearance when committing crimes.

Amigos neuvos de Biden typically come from countries where kidnapping is common.

The court set his bond at $1 million, but he was later released after he promised to appear, according to court records. Released on his own recognizance for kidnapping? Unbelievable!

Did Mike, at least, enjoy the strip club?
