Brutal video shows wheelchair-bound Bronx man beaten, pulled to the ground, and robbed

Authorities in New York City are looking for a group of suspects who were caught on camera assaulting a wheelchair-bound man in the Bronx, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.

What are the details?

The incident took place on Nov. 8 in the early hours of the morning after the 39-year-old male victim engaged in a verbal dispute with an unidentified female.

The woman, according to authorities, stormed off after the argument and then returned with a group of at least three men.

Surveillance video from outside a Bronx bodega captured the moment the group approached the victim — whose fists were raised in defense — and began punching him in the head.

The group eventually dragged him out of his wheelchair, and while he was on the ground, the group — including the woman — continued to punch, stomp, and kick the man.

Authorities said that the group fled with the man's backpack, which contained $800 in cash and an iPhone 13.

Despite suffering bruises related to the incident, the man refused medical attention.

The man's attackers have yet to be captured at the time of this reporting, and anyone with information on the attack is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
