DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — A man was stabbed and robbed of a brand-new iPhone in front of his children while walking home, police said.
The 25-year-old victim had just purchased an iPhone 7 from a nearby T-Mobile store and was walking back to his car near Bond and Livingston streets around 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 7 when two teens approached him and tried to grab his shopping bag, a police report said.
The man shoved one of the teens before the second suspect took out a knife, stabbing the victim in the left arm, the NYPD said.
The first suspect then picked up the T-Mobile bag and the two ran westbound on Livingston Street, police said.
The victim dropped his children off at home before going to Kings County Hospital for treatment, according to the police report.
No arrests have been made.
