A trio ganged up on two men in the Bronx — striking one with a cinder block and another with a plastic crate — in a caught-on-video attack before robbing one of them of his wallet.
The two victims, 25 and 47, were on Southern Boulevard near Avenue St. John in the Woodstock section around 3:10 a.m. July 7 when three men approached them, cops said.
A young-looking suspect is shown on the footage picking up a cinder block from in front of a business and chucking it at the 25-year-old victim.
The video then cuts to the same suspect throwing a plastic crate at the older man — who is already on the ground — before all three attackers punch and kick him, the clip shows.
Meanwhile, one of the suspects allegedly targeted the younger victim again — striking him with the plastic crate.
The trio swiped the older victim’s wallet, which held $450, before bolting, cops said.
Both victims were taken in stable condition to Lincoln Medical Center, with pain and bruising to their heads and bodies.
