Cops Seek 6 Teen Suspects In Two Brooklyn Robberies
In the first incident, police said two males in their teens approached a 21-year-old woman from behind before punching her in the head and face while removing her cellphone from her hand. Both suspects then fled on St. Edwards Street around 7 p.m.
The second incident took place only a couple of hours later at the intersection of Willoughby and Flatbush Avenue when a 42-year-old woman was approached by two females and four males, who punched the victim in the face and demanded money.
The victim was also carrying a bag of groceries, which the suspects also took, police said. The victim sustained a swollen eye and cuts to her face as a result of the incident.
