MANHATTAN - A trio of crooks, 2 men and a woman, attacked and robbed a man in Midtown, the NYPD said.

Surveillance video from inside a Brooklyn store captured the suspects using the stolen credit card, the NYPD said.

At around 8:30 pm on December 2, a 28-year-old man was walking in the vicinity of Broadway and West 39 Street. Cops said two men and a woman ran up to him and punched him in the face and about the body.

During the beating, the attackers ripped the necklace off the victim’s neck and forcibly removed his cellphone and wallet.
