Police from the 107th Precinct in Fresh Meadows are looking for four alleged muggers who jumped a 22-year-old man in Jamaica Hills on the evening of Friday, Jan. 3.

The victim was walking past 179-33 Hillside Ave. at around 5 p.m. when four strangers approached him and attempted to grab his personal belongings.
