BUSHWICK — Police are hunting three attackers they say beat and robbed a man on Evergreen Avenue.

The 23-year-old victim was walking near Jefferson Street on Jan. 20 when one of the suspects hit him in the back of the head around 11 p.m., the NYPD said.

Once he was on the ground, the other two men punched and kicked him in the face and body, police said.

They then grabbed his iPhone 6 as well as debit and credit cards before fleeing, according to police.

The victim suffered a black eye and other cuts and bruises.

The suspects are all believed to be between 18 and 21 years old.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
