The NYPD says three people are wanted for a violent assault and dog napping in Crotona Park East.

They say the three people started an argument with a 42-year-old woman at a deli on Southern Boulevard, when the woman chose to walk away.

The three suspects followed her outside and began punching her, and then snatched her two dogs and ran off.

Anyone who recognizes the suspects or the dogs is asked to call police.
