Police release images of 4 people wanted for violent robbery with machete in Borough Park

That's right. Now that violent act is coming as a surprise to some neighbors who call this busy area here in Borough Park in Brooklyn a pretty good neighborhood. That comes after a group approached their victims, one of them even pulling out a machete to carry out that robbery. Now take a good look at your screen here. These are the four individuals alleged to be behind that attack on Saturday, November 7th, just before 6 p.m. Police say the four suspects approached two teens and a man between Fort Hamilton Parkway and New Utrecht Avenue. The groups were arguing when investigators say one suspect yanked a chain off the neck of a 17-year-old. Police say a second person then took out a machete, while the third and fourth suspects punched and kicked a 33-year-old man injuring his eye and knee. That victim refused medical attention at the scene. Meanwhile, those suspects took off moments after that robbery. Now, this attack comes as the latest NYPD crime report shows robbery incidents in the last 10 months have gone down by 12% citywide. Police data for the local precinct that includes this neighborhood shows that trend continues, but just by a few margins. There's been 82 robberies reported so far this year. That's only five fewer incidents from the same time last year. Now despite these numbers trending downwards, police are still asking for your help in this case. They say if you recognize the individuals we showed you earlier to please contact their Crime Stoppers hotline. In Borough Park, Jonathan Calixto, News 12.
