The NYPD is investigating a string of muggings that have taken place in Prospect Park recently.

According to police, there have been nine muggings in the park in the last month and a half. The most recent attack happened last week when a group of teens robbed a 53-year-old man after kicking him to the ground. Police say there is a familiar pattern in each of the attacks.

Police warn residents to be aware of their surroundings and to not go through the park alone at night. Police say they have made several arrests in connection with the muggings.
