TIMES SQUARE — A tourist was knocked unconscious and robbed of more than $1,000 in cash and other belongings after leaving a Times Square bar, police said.
The 23-year-old, from Puerto Rico, had been drinking at Emmett O’Lunney’s Irish Pub at 210 W. 50th St., between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, when he left to go back to his hotel room around around 2 a.m. on April 17, he told police.
The man made it to West 53rd Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue when someone punched him in the back of his neck, the NYPD said.
The blow knocked him out cold and sent him to the ground, police added.
When an ambulance took him to the hospital around 6:43 a.m., he realized he was missing his $60 bag, $400 gray LG G4 Stylus cellphone, $300 in cash and a $450 Nautica watch, police said.
An employee working at Emmett O’Lunney’s Tuesday said he wasn’t aware of the incident.
