Muggers on Bikes Slash Man's Face and Take $10, NYPD Says (VIDEO)

THE BRONX — A man was slashed across the face, beaten and robbed outside his Soundview home early Friday by thieves who took $10, NYPD officials said.

The 35-year-old victim had just arrived home at his building at Croes and Watson avenues when two men attacked him, kicking and punching him before slashing him with a sharp object about 4:50 a.m., police said.

The suspects, who can be seen in police video released Tuesday, stole his wallet carrying just $10 before fleeing on bicycles, police said.

The victim was treated for serious cuts to his face at Jacobi hospital, where he's listed in stable condition, police said.

The suspects, who are described as being in their late 30s and standing about 6-feet-1 inches tall, hadn't been arrested as of Wednesday morning, police said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
