Police say a man was violently assaulted inside of a parking garage in Crown Heights.
The incident happened on Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. A 44-year-old man was inside the garage on 1700 Bedford Ave. when three men approached him from behind.
One of the men used a baseball bat to hit the victim in the legs and body, while the other two kicked and stomped him in the head.
Residents of Ebbets Field apartments shared mixed reactions to the incident.
"Scary, but not surprising," said one resident. "A lot of shootings happen in this area. Somebody is either getting beaten up or shot."
Another resident said news like this is also startling for those who use the parking garage to travel through the connecting buildings very often.
"It's scary to me," said James Brown. "I hope I don't have to run into it and see it myself.”
The victim sustained injuries to the head and body and was taken to NYC Health and Hospitals/Kings County by EMS. Police say he is expected to beOK.
The search for the suspects continues.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
