NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police on Tuesday released an image of a group of suspects wanted in a string of violent robberies that occurred in the Bronx last month.
The first incident happened at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 2, when the crew approached 62-year-old man at 1536 Westchester Ave. in Soundview and began to assault him, authorities said.
The victim fell to the ground and the group continued to punch and kick him, and attempted to remove property from his pocket, officials said.
The group was unsuccessful in removing any property and fled the location to parts unknown.
The victim sustained bruising to his head but refused medical attention.
The second incident occurred at about 1 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 6, when a 33-year-old man was inside of the Parkchester subway station.
The group confronted him, and one of the males kicked the victim to the ground, cops said.
The victim got up and fled the station, but was pursued by the group, and began to assault him at the corner of Benedict and Metropolitan avenues.
During the assault, the suspects took an iPhone 11 from the victim's pocket and then fled the location to parts unknown.
The victim sustained bruising to his head but refused medical attention.
A few hours later, at around 3:20 a.m., 42-year-old man was approached by a group of males who asked for money at Hugh J. Grant Circle and Westchester Avenue, the NYPD said.
The males slapped the victim and pushed him to the ground and took $50 cash from the victim's pocket before they fled the location to parts unknown, according to police.
The victim sustained minor injuries and refused medical attention.
A short time later, at approximately 4:40 a.m., a 37-year-old man was walking, in front of 1148 Wheeler Ave. in Soundview when a group of males approached him from behind and pushed him to the ground.
