MANHATTAN — Police are seeking three men in connection to the death of a man who was found bashed on the head on the Lower East Side Saturday.
The NYPD released images of the men on Tuesday.
Sandy Thelamy, 30, of Brooklyn, was found at 4:15 a.m. Saturday on the sidewalk outside the Edison Park Fast garage at 167 Essex St., police said. The garage is across the street from P.S. 20.
Police said he suffered trauma to the head.
Thelamy was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he died, police said.
An employee at Munchies, a late-night eatery next-door to the garage, said he saw a crowd of “20-plus people gathered” outside the lot shortly before the body was discovered. “The crowd was rowdy,” the employee, who asked not be identified, told DNAinfo.
After witnessing the commotion that preceded Thelamy's death, the Munchies employee said they decided to close early: "After we saw that, we just let down the gate."
“It has a tendency to be an aggressive crowd on Friday/Saturday nights,” he added.
Marck Cadet, the Park Fast Faculty Manager, said there was an attendant on duty throughout the night, but he didn’t leave the booth inside of the garage.
The three men sought by police were described as black men between 5-foot-5 and 6 feet tall.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
