Police are looking for a man they say assaulted and robbed another man in Westchester Square.

The incident happened in early July at around 1:55 a.m. A 57-year-old man had just gotten out of his car, which was parked in the rear of 2276 Westchester Ave., when the assailant approached him.

The assailant punched the victim multiple times in the head before taking his wallet and phone. Then, he escaped by getting into the victim’s 2018 Honda CR-V and drove away toward Havemeyer Avenue.

EMS took the victim to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi in stable condition.
