SEE IT: Crooks beat woman, steal her iPhone after she snubs their advances in Harlem
A crew of crooks swarmed and attacked a 31-year-old woman after she refused their come-ons in a caught-on-camera Harlem robbery, officials said Wednesday.
The woman was in a liquor store on W. 128th St. on the block east of St. Nicholas Ave. around 5:50 p.m. on Monday when two of the three crooks followed her in and tried to chat her up, police sources said.
She declined their sexual overtures, sparking an argument, officials said.
Surveillance video recorded outside the liquor store shows the two suspects, now joined by a third accomplice, surrounding their victim as soon as she exited the store.
The crew forced her against the front of parked white SUV, the video shows.
They punched and kicked her and bit her forehead as they yanked a $750 iPhone 11 from her hands before running off.
Medics took the woman to Harlem Hospital, where she was treated and released.
Cops released the video in the hope that someone recognizes the muggers.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
