A man was beaten with a hammer and robbed by four strangers inside a restaurant in Flushing on the night of Saturday, Feb. 22, and the suspects remain at large.

The 40-year-old victim entered an unnamed restaurant in the vicinity of Northern Boulevard and Union Street with two 16-year-old boys for a late dinner just before 10 p.m. when four young men walked into the restaurant and ordered the three victims to get on the floor. Acting in concert, the suspects brandished a hammer and smashed the 40-year-old in the head, and removed $1,000 in cash, police said Thursday.

Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are looking for a sleazy soccer fan who groped a 19-year-old woman after he flashed her and pleasured himself on board a Q44 MTA bus last month.

The incident occurred on the night of Thursday, Feb. 27, on the bus near Northern Boulevard just after 8:30 p.m. when the shaggy-haired deviant approached the victim and exposed himself to her while performing a lewd act before grabbing her rear end, police said Wednesday.
