Victim Dies After Christmas Eve Beating in NYC, Attackers Got Just $1
A New York City man has died after a group of people allegedly robbed and beat him on Christmas Eve.
How much money did the robbers steal? Only one dollar.
Bronx resident Juan Fresnada, 60, was walking with a 29-year-old man on Third Avenue early on Christmas Eve morning when a group of men approached them, according to WCBS.
Police say the group demanded the two men’s personal property, but when they refused, the group attacked.
Surveillance video released by the New York Police Department showed the incident.
In the clips released, a man is seen throwing another on the ground after swinging him around.
A group of men are also seen congregated around a man on the ground as another man grabs a large trash can to continue the ruthless attack.
“Have you seen them? Do you who they are? Do you have information about this incident?” the 42nd Precinct wrote on Twitter Christmas Day.
