Police are looking for three men who robbed a duo in the Bronx in a cinderblock-heaving, plastic crate-flinging attack that sent both victims to the hospital last week.
The 47- and 25-year-old victims were standing on Southern Boulevard shortly after 3 a.m. July 7 when the trio approached them, according to police.
One of the suspects grabbed a piece of cinderblock and threw it at the 25-year-old, hitting him in the head. That same suspect then chucked a plastic crate at the other victim and dropkicked him to the ground, while a second suspect punched the 47-year-old victim in the face. More punches were then leveled on the 25-year-old, who was then hit in the head with the plastic crate.
The beatings of both victims continued for a time until the trio of suspects stole the older victim's wallet and they all ran off. Both victims were taken to a hospital for lacerations to their heads and pain and bruising from the beatings.
They are expected to be OK.
