A 26-year-old man had just got off a bus from Atlanta when he was attacked by a group of about a dozen suspects who beat him up, cut him several times and stole his clothes, including his underwear, police said on Sunday.
The group of men and women began attacking the victim near Canal and Allen streets in Manhattan at around 11:30 a.m. Friday, cutting him with an unknown object, police said.
The police have been released video of the suspects and seek witnesses. The attackers took the man’s cell phone and took off his pants, underwear and shoes.
“They attacked him as soon as he got off the bus from Atlanta,” a police source said.
The man, who is from Brooklyn, suffered four cuts to his torso, two to his head and one to his hand after getting off the bus from Peach state, police said. The group then fled in three vehicles: a van and two sedans.
