The third man stole the wife’s pocketbook, which contained $2,000, according to police.

The trio then fled the area in a dark-colored sedan. They were last seen driving down Freeborn Street and making a left onto Hempstead Avenue.

The husband suffered a minor laceration to his lip. Both he and his wife refused medical attention.

Police are searching for all three suspects.

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