A walker was hit and the driver stopped not to help him, but to rob him as he lay seriously injured on the street in broad daylight in the Bronx.
And dramatic video released by the NYPD captured the merciless double attack at 898 East 169th St., just beginning on Saturday, around 6:40 a.m.
The unidentified 39-year-old victim was walking on the sidewalk when he was struck by a black four-door sedan. The video shows the pedestrian being thrown into the air and then landing on the street. Area residents said the man works in a warehouse near the crime scenepointed Pix11.
Two men who were in the vehicle that hit him they went out and instead of helping him they rummaged in his clothes, taking his belongings, police said. “The individuals returned to the scene and searched the victim’s pockets before fleeing,” the NYPD said in a statement.
An emergency team took the victim to Lincoln Hospital, where he was in critical state, highlighted New York Post. Police are looking for three suspects, as another man was seen inside the car. It is unclear if they knew the victim and deliberately ran her over or if it was an accident.
