The police are looking for seven people who attacked and robbed two men at a Long Island City park last month.
The suspects, five men and two women, approached the victims at Rainey Park, located at 34th Avenue and Vernon Boulevard, at around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 16, and asked for the time.
A member of the group then punched one of the victims in the face and the suspects demanded the victims to hand over their possessions.
The first victim, a 28-year-old man whose jaw was broken by the punch, handed over his wallet, a smart watch, cellphone, credit cards, and debit card. The second man, 25, had his iphone and credit cards stripped from him.
The 28-year-old went to hospital to get his jaw treated.
The police released a video of the suspects.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-8477, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Yeah thanks to Mr.Deblasio the problem is,the police see those groups of people walking on the streets and they ignore them and act like they dont see nothing ,but I was walking to my house alone and they stopped me to ask me questions like where I’m going to or what im doing so late ,shame of you Deblasio
My neighbor’s dog barks a lot and police will not do anything because of Deblasio.

Awww Racism ….ahhh ?? Keep on defending THUG LIFE !?!?
Wake up and trusts your instincts people!
Rainey Park became a muggers paradise many year ago. Not safe to go there even in the daytime.
Maybe these punks can fight those 7-11 lowlifes!
7 on 1 attacks. The 1980s are back. Thanks DiBlasio!
Pat Macnamaracist how’s the continual year-over-year decrease in crime under DeBlasio mean “the 80s are back?”
Or are you one of those Trump Lovers that just blames all your life’s problems on “muh deblazeeyo?”
