Police have released images of the four alleged attackers behind a robbery down a commercial street in Borough Park on Saturday.
Investigators say four people approached two teens and a man between Fort Hamilton Parkway and New Utrecht Ave. on November 7 at around 5:55 p.m. After an exchange of words with the victims, one suspect sparked the set of violence yanking a chain off the neck of a 17-year-old boy.
Police say the second suspect displayed a machete, while the third and fourth suspects punched and kicked a 33-year-old man. The victim was left with lacerations to his eye and knee pain, but he refused medical attention at the scene.
The suspects ran away moments after the attack to parts unknown.
The incident comes as the NYPD's latest crime report shows robberies in the last ten months have been down by 12.3%. In 2025, there were 12,834 incidents reported compared to 11,252 robberies this year. The downward trend is reflected in the local precinct that includes Borough Park but only by a few margins.
In the 66th precinct, there have been 82 robberies reported so far this year, as opposed to 87 in 2025.
Police are asking anyone with information about the thieves in the November 7 attack to contact their Crime Stoppers Hotline.
