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.
