A crew of crooks intentionally rammed their car into a Bronx pedestrian — and then snatched his belongings as he lay unconscious on the pavement, shocking video released by the NYPD Sunday shows.
The 39-year-old victim was crossing E. 169th St. near Home St. in East Morrisania about 6:40 a.m. Saturday when a black four-door sedan vaulted the median and barreled into him, cops said. The impact flipped the man into the air before he landed on the sidewalk, the video shows.
One of the crooks dashed out of the car and snatched what appears to be a bag and another item from the critically hurt victim.
The robber runs off only to return and callously flip the unconscious victim over to rifle through his pockets, the video shows. An accomplice stood and watched while the driver remained behind the wheel.
The muggers drove off and have not been caught.
Medics rushed the victim to Lincoln Hospital, where he remained in critical condition Sunday.
Cops are asking the public’s help identifying the crooks and tracking them down.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
