The off-duty officer was hit repeatedly in the head before the suspects fled with his cellphone, car keys and wallet.
Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch released a statement Tuesday night:
"While we pray at our injured brother's bedside tonight, police officers across this city are searching for the cowards who did this to him. Make no mistake: we will find them. But we will need the rest of the justice system to step up and do its job, too. This is what happens when our leaders refuse to hold criminals accountable - not even a police officer can walk these streets safely.
Authorities say Tuesday's attack is part of a citywide robbery pattern, with 19 total incidents reported. They are looking for approximately four suspects. In multiple incidents, three suspects approached a victim, while a fourth remained in the vehicle. The suspects are described as men with a thin build, last seen wearing hooded sweatshirts and surgical masks.Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA . The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, on Twitter @NYPDTips.
