The incident took place on Monday, Dec. 21, around 9 p.m., when the Hastings-on-Hudson Police Department received a 911 call from a resident of Brooklyn, reporting he was in the parking lot of The Andrus Home completing an arranged meeting with two other individuals regarding the sale of high-end collectible sneakers, valued at $4,000, said Chief David Dosin.
When the victim presented the sneakers to the other individuals, he was struck in the head with a closed fist by one of the individuals and the other individual grabbed the sneakers.
