TRIBECA — A Borough of Manhattan Community College student was slashed and then robbed of more than $2,000 in belongings by a group of six men, police said.
The 36-year-old victim told police that he saw a man lurking near the 199 Chambers St. school when he left class at about 9:45 p.m. on Oct. 15.
The victim explained that the man saw him and said, "What's up dude?" before pulled out a black gun, according to the police report. The attacker put the gun away and instead came at the victim with a switchblade, slashing his wrist, police said.
The student soon realized there were other men standing near the attacker, so he ran into a deli at 66 West Broadway and asked for someone to call 911, according to the police report.
The victim said everyone in the deli left after a man walked into the store a moment later and said something in Spanish that the victim didn't understand, police said. Soon after, the man who cut him came into the deli along with four other men and began attacking him, pushing him into the glass counter, police said.
The suspects grabbed the victim's $300 Burberry tan wallet, $400 in cash, a $1,300 Andrew Marc black jacket and a backpack before fleeing, police said.
The victim then chased the man who slashed him to a 7-Eleven at 140 Church St. but the attacker soon fled, police said.
The owner of the deli where the incident happened was not immediately available to comment.
None of the men have been caught. Police were still investigating the incident.
