New York Police Department (NYPD) officers released mug shots today of the four bandits who allegedly brutally beat a man last month in a Queens<\/a>, N.Y. gambling den. They struck him with chairs and brooms, then punched and kicked him, and eventually he was forced to the floor, cops revealed.<\/p>\n

One of the thugs then displayed a knife and stole a Rolex watch, valued at $30,000, and also took $5,000 in cash, WPIX<\/em>, a New York City TV station, reported. The four then ran away. The suspects were wearing dark clothing.<\/p>\n

The victim is 36 years old. He suffered injuries to his face and on other parts of his body.<\/p>\n

The individuals engage[d] in a verbal argument escalating into a physical encounter, at which point the individuals hit the victim with chairs and brooms, knocking him to the ground,\u201d<\/strong> the NYPD said in a statement quoted by Fox News<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The robbers continued to \u201cpunch and kick the victim about the body. One individual displayed a knife and demanded money,” cops added.<\/p>\n

Police have described the gambling joint as illegal.\u00a0It is in an apartment located near Prince Street in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens.<\/p>\n

The incident took place at about 2 pm on June 22. It started as an argument, WPIX<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Gambling-Linked Shooting<\/h2>\n

In an unrelated incident in October 2020, an assailant opened fire on four players at an alleged illegal gambling den in Brooklyn. One victim died and three others were wounded.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place in the back of Brooklyn\u2019s G Spot thrift shop following a fight there. It is located in the Brownsville<\/a> neighborhood of the borough.<\/p>\n

\n

The confrontation was linked to disagreements over gambling, the New York Post<\/em> reported, based on police statements. Illegal gambling was allegedly taking place there for some two decades, residents complained to local media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Often, it was round-the-clock, the residents further claimed. It was especially busy on Friday and Saturday nights.<\/p>\n

The man who died reportedly was wounded in the chest. He was described as being in his 30s. He was believed to have been suffering from COVID-19, the New York Daily News<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

A 44-year-old was shot in an arm, a 31-year-old was wounded in a leg, and a 32-year-old man was shot in a shoulder, the Daily News<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Police have yet to make an arrest in the case.<\/p>\n

Deadly Violence<\/h2>\n

The shooting is one of several homicides seen between 2019 and 2020 at a gambling den or social club in Brooklyn. In October 2019, four victims were discovered deceased in the Triple-A Aces Club in Brooklyn\u2019s Crown Heights<\/a> neighborhood.<\/p>\n

In addition, two men and a woman were wounded, and a fourth person had other injuries. Each survived, the Daily News<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

An argument over a dice game led to another man shooting into the crowd, the Daily News<\/em> said. The gunman was shot dead by a bouncer at the club, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
