Police are looking for three suspects who allegedly assaulted and robbed a man outside the NYCHA Woodside Houses complex last week.

The suspects allegedly approached a 21-year-old man at around 8:15 p.m. on Nov. 24 who was walking in front of 50-50 Broadway. The alleged robbers demanded the victim’s property and then proceeded to punch him several times before forcibly taking his wallet.

The alleged thieves, police said, then fled the vicinity on foot and were last seen in the Bronx.

The victim refused medical attention.

Police have released video and photos of three suspects taken from a nearby store and building in Woodside.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
