The violent robbery happened around 1:55 a.m. after the victim exited his parked vehicle in the rear of 2276 Westchester Avenue. An unidentified man approached and struck him multiple times in the head before stealing his wallet and phone.

The suspect then jumped into the victim’s gray 2018 Honda CRV and drove off, heading southbound on Havemeyer Avenue. The car has not been recovered.

EMS transported the victim to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacobi, where he was listed in stable condition. His injuries were not life-threatening.
