BOERUM HILL — A man was slashed with a box cutter during a robbery in broad daylight in Boerum Hill, police said.

The 49-year-old victim was at the corner of Third Avenue and St. Marks Place when three men approached him Aug. 28 at 2:35 p.m., according to the police report.

"Give me your f***ing money," said one of the men, who brandished a box cutter.

As the victim reached for his wallet, the man slashed his right hand with the blade, police said.

The group fled with the man's wallet, containing $140 in cash, a debit card and a Benefit card.

Other notable crimes in the 84th Precinct, according to police, include:
