Carjacking In Crown Heights Connected To 2 Others: NYPD

CROWN HEIGHTS, NY — A group accused of multiple carjackings around NYC stole a car in Crown Heights last week, police said Wednesday.

Four strangers grabbed a 44-year-old out of his for-hire car about 2 a.m. on May 21, punching him in the head and body, police said. He was waiting for another pickup on Ralph Avenue near Pacific Street.

Even as he tried to get out of the car, the four continued to attack him, according to the NYPD.

Ultimately, the group hopped in the car and drove away on Pacific Street — with the man's headphones and identification documents, police said.

The car was found a couple days later on New York Avenue, police said.

Police say the Crown Heights robbery is related to another in Bushwick and on the Upper East Side.
