A group of
12 people attacked and robbed a man in an unprovoked attack at the West Indian
Day Parade on Monday, police say.
The
44-year-old victim was standing on Eastern Parkway around 7 p.m. when the group
began to punch and kick his body and head repeatedly, police say, with one
suspect also slashing the victim in the chest.
During the
attack, the suspects ripped two chains from the victim's neck, and
made off with the chains, his cellphone, car keys, and wallet - which contained cash, his credit and
debit cards, and identification documents.
The group
of attackers fled in an unknown direction.
The victim
was taken by private means to NYC Health and Hospitals/Kings County in stable
condition.
