At 3:41 a.m., two men and a woman struck the man with a metal pipe in his head, face, back and arm on the 400 block of North 5th Street, Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé said.
The trio took the man's iPhone, $700 in cash and then fled in a silver 2006 Honda Ridgeline pickup truck with New Jersey license plate P97RBZ, Fragé said.
The four-door vehicle was seen in Clifton but frequents Clifton Avenue in Newark and Washington Avenue in Belleville, Fragé said. It also has been listed as a felony vehicle, Fragé said.
Anyone with information about the suspects’ identity and locating the vehicle is asked to call 1-877-695-8477.
