BOERUM HILL — A man in a motorized wheelchair was robbed of $300 in cash and 41 oxycodone pills by two suspects near the Gowanus Houses, police said.
The 58-year-old victim was sitting in the wheelchair on Hoyt Street near Warren Street when two men approached him and stated, "he looks f---ed up so he probably has pills on him," on May 30 at about 5:10 a.m., according to the police report.
While one man held the victim down, the other took the cash from his left pocket and the painkillers before fleeing, authorities said.
The victim suffered a slight abrasion on his left pinky finger, according to police.
