Police have released new photos of the suspects who brazenly attacked a man at 12:40 p.m. on Jan. 13 on Third Street just west of First Avenue.
According to published reports, the 29-year-old victim, who suffered a broken jaw, was a delivery man.
Per CBS2: "Police sources [said] he was riding his bike when he stopped to take a picture of a car that apparently hit him. That’s when several men got out, started punching him and stole his phone."
Aside from distributing new photos of the suspects, the NYPD upped the reward money to $2,500...
The victim's wife set up a GoFundMe campaign to cover medical expenses. There isn't any word where he works making deliveries.
Anyone with information that could help in the investigation is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). You may also submit tips online. All calls are strictly confidential.
