QUEENS — A man was in critical condition after four people beat him unconscious and robbed him in Ridgewood Thursday, police said.
The 52-year-old, whose name wasn't released, was attacked by two men and two women near the intersection of Putnam and Seneca avenues about 9:48 p.m., punching and kicking his face and head, NYPD officials said.
