NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A group of people robbed and slashed a man in the Bronx after he refused to buy drugs from them last week, police said.
The group approached the 26-year-old victim on the Edward L. Grant Highway, near West 169th Street, in the Highbridge section around 3:30 a.m. last Friday.
Police said the four suspects asked the man if he wanted to buy drugs, and when he refused, they attacked him.
The men surrounded the man and punched and kicked him to the ground, police said.
One of the suspects then stole the man's bag and another slashed him across the wrist before they all fled, according to police.
The victim was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released.
The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspects on Wednesday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
