Police are searching for a group of suspects who assaulted and robbed a man in South Ozone Park on Wednesday.

Authorities say the group approached a 28-year-old man from behind as he was walking to his car near 125th Street and Liberty Avenue around 5:20 p.m. on Feb. 5. The suspects proceeded to assault the victim — punching and kicking him in the face and body — before grabbing his cell phone and AirPods and fleeing southbound on 125th Street, police said.

The victim was transported to New York Presbyterian Hospital-Queens where he was treated for minor injuries.

Police released surveillance video and photos of the suspects on Feb. 7.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of the males is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
