According to the NYPD, a man tried buying a laptop from a seller in February on Westchester Avenue. The victim let the female seller enter his car and she pulled a gun on him. Police say two other men showed up and stole the victim's two cell phones, more than $2,000 from his pockets, then punched him repeatedly.

The victim is expected to be OK.

The suspects are still at large.
