Police are searching for the three suspects who allegedly pistol-whipped a 67-year-old man before stealing the cash register from a laundromat in Morrisania earlier this month.
Police from the 42nd Precinct report that the three male suspects, acting in concert, entered Boston Laundromat, located at 1309 Boston Rd., around 3 a.m. on April 12, and approached a 67-year-old man. One of the suspects then pistol-whipped the man in the face, causing a laceration above his left eye, police said. The suspects then forcibly removed the cash register, which contained approximately $500, before fleeing on foot northbound on Boston Road.
EMS responded and transported the victim to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
An NYPD spokesperson could not clarify whether the victim was an employee of the laundromat or a customer.
Police on April 17 released a surveillance image and descriptions of the three suspects.
