DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Police say they are looking for three men who beat a 23-year-old man then stole his iPhone and cash in a drive-by robbery last week in Downtown Brooklyn.
The victim was on the northwest corner of Nevins and Livingston streets at 5:50 p.m. on March 24 when three men he didn’t recognize pulled up next to him in a dark gray Ford and said, “Yo,” according to the NYPD.
The men then got out of the car and punched the victim in the back of the head and in the right eye, according to police.
During the fight, the victim dropped his iPhone 5c and $30 in cash, which one of the suspects grabbed, police said.
The suspects took off in the Ford in an unknown direction, police said.
Other notable crimes from the 84th and 88th precincts in Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill include:
► A man robbed a 15-year-old girl at knifepoint at Jay and Tillary streets at 3:40 p.m. on March 23. The man said, “Run your pocket b----,” and took $240 in cash from the girl.
► A 49-year-old man was outside 117 N. Oxford Walk walking to the store around 8 p.m. on March 23 when a man wearing a skull cap approached him and swung a bat at him. The victim sustained cuts to the left side of the face and head and his left eye was swollen shut. He was treated at Methodist Hospital.
