NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A group of men attacked a driver and stole his car in broad daylight in the Bronx last week, police said Sunday as they released video of the suspects.
The 27-year-old man was stopped at a red light in his 2017 Nissan sedan in the 42nd Precinct around 4:30 p.m. on Monday when the group of four men approached his vehicle, according to police, who didn't give an exact location.
The men started smacking the driver's side mirror. When the driver got out of his vehicle to check if there was any damage, one of the men ran after him and punched him repeatedly to the ground, police said.
