Man brutally beaten, robbed at gunpoint in Brooklyn, disturbing video shows
A 28-year-old man was yanked out of his car, beaten and robbed at gunpoint by two attackers — who only ended up grabbing his ID card in Brooklyn, disturbing video released Wednesday shows.
The victim was parked on Sheffield Avenue near Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville around 12:30 a.m. Aug. 17, waiting to meet up with friends, when an SUV parked across the street behind him, cops said.
One of the men got out of the SUV and approached the victim’s car, demanding that he get out before yanking him from the vehicle, the clip shows.
The second attacker approached, and both men punched and kicked the victim — one striking him with an expandable nightstick. The other whipped out a black gun and grabbed the man’s ID, cops said.
The victim suffered only minor injuries and refused medical attention at the scene.
One attacker fled on foot, while the other took off in the SUV. Both remained at large Wednesday.
The suspect with the night stick is about 30-years-old, 6 feet tall and around 160 pounds, with a dark complexion and medium build. He was last seen wearing a baseball hat, a white T-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers.
His accomplice, who had the gun, is also about 30 years old and 160 pounds with a dark complexion and a medium build. He’s believed to be about 5-foot-8 with facial hair, last seen wearing a do-rag, a light color shirt, black pants and white sneakers.
