BROOKLYN, N.Y. — A 20-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint inside a Brooklyn playground earlier this month, with police confirming one arrest has been made in connection to the case.
The incident occurred around 7:10 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, inside Grace Playground at the corner of Belmont Avenue and New Jersey Avenue. According to police, the victim was approached by three unidentified individuals, one of whom brandished a firearm while the other two flanked him.
The group forcibly removed U.S. currency, iPhones, and other personal items from the victim before fleeing on foot southbound on New Jersey Avenue. No injuries were reported in the incident.
Police later apprehended one of the suspects. The identities of the individuals involved have not been disclosed, and two of the alleged participants remain at large.
The investigation remains ongoing as law enforcement continues to search for the remaining suspects and recover the stolen items.
