MANHATTAN - An arguement between a 50-year-old man and a couple dressed as if they were going for a run ended in violence when they beat and pistol whipped the victim, the NYPD said. 

At around 4:20 pm on September 3, a 50-year-old man was in front of 220 Amsterdam Avenue when he got into an argument with a man and woman who were dressed in work out gear. As the dispute got heated, the male pulled out a handgun and smashed him in the face with the butt of the weapon. 

The pair then hopped into a black Nissan Murano and drove off. 

EMS treated the victim at the scene.
