Police from the 115th Precinct in Jackson Heights are looking for a trio of muggers who targeted a man as he walked on 37th Avenue near Junction Boulevard in Corona late last month and remain at large.

The 28-year-old victim was approaching the intersection at around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 31, when he was ambushed by the three strangers who bull-rushed him, knocking him to the ground. The assailants proceeded to punch and kick him in the body multiple times, causing pain, police said.

The perpetrators forcibly removed the victim’s cell phone and wallet before running off northbound on Junction Boulevard toward 35th Avenue. The victim sustained a minor injury but refused medical attention at the crime scene and was not hospitalized.
