BROOKLYN

*** A man has been arrested on charges of beating and robbing a pizza deliveryman outside a Brownsville building, authorities said yesterday.

The incident began at 11:45 p.m. Sunday, when a Domino’s employee delivered a pizza to Marvin Jackson, 19, at his mother’s Chester Avenue apartment, police sources said.

According to the sources, as the deliveryman was returning to his car, somebody yelled from the Jackson home that the wrong order had been delivered.

The employee told the complainant to contact the store, but Jackson and three accomplices surrounded the deliveryman at his car, police said. One of three took out a handgun and hit the deliveryman in the head. Jackson then allegedly rifled the victim’s pocket and removed cash, cops said.

While his accomplices fled, Jackson went back into his mother’s home. The driver, who was not identified, called police and Jackson was quickly arrested on charges of assault and robbery.

Green allegedly grabbed the man’s throat and choked him before pummeling him, breaking his wrist.

The victim, who was treated at a nearby hospital, did not report the incident to police.

On Monday, tempers flared again at Green’s apartment, when Green allegedly choked the victim again. Police were called and arrested Green on charges of assault and menacing.

After the incident, a co-worker of the 59-year-old told Ferrara to back away from the co-worker’s vehicle. Ferrara allegedly got out of his SUV, grabbed the co-worker by the neck and pushed him before fleeing.

Ferrara returned later and slugged the 59-year-old worker in the face, police sources said. He then allegedly pummeled the co-worker before fleeing in his SUV again.

An eyewitness wrote down the license-plate number and notified police. Cops traced the plate number to Ferrara’s business on Smith Street, where he was arrested and charged with assault.
