Armed Group Attacks 4 Harlem Delivery Drivers In One Night: Police

HARLEM, NY — An armed group attacked four delivery workers in Harlem within hours of each other, robbing them of phones, e-bikes and cash, police said.

One victim was stabbed in the back during a robbery, according to police.

The attacks all happened on Thursday between about 8:50 p.m. and 10:10 p.m. in a 20-block stretch of Harlem, police said, between West 124th and West 141st streets along Adam Clayton Jr. Boulevard and Lenox Avenue.

In three of the attacks during that night, the group pulled out a knife and stole an e-bike, cell phone and cash from each delivery worker, according to officials. One crook pulled out a gun during one of the robberies.

The three victims were not injured.

But another worker making a delivery that night was not as lucky.

As a 41-year-old worker was finishing a delivery at West 131 Street, near Adam Clayton Jr. Boulevard, two of the crooks appeared behind him, police said.

The men pulled out a knife, stabbed the worker in the back, and tried to steal his cell phone, officials said.

Ultimately the violent robbers fled empty handed, police said.

Medics rushed the man to Harlem Hospital in stable condition, according to police.

Officials released images of people they said are connected to the incidents.

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).
