The brazen daytime attack, which left the victim hospitalized, has prompted the NYPD to release surveillance images of the suspects and offer a substantial reward for information leading to their arrest.
The incident unfolded shortly before 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, in front of 37-55 74th Street.
