BRONX - A man delivering liquor was mugged for his booze and his cash by a gunman in the Bronx. 

At around 4:20 am on April 9, a 38-year-old man was sitting in his vehicle in front of 2081 Wallace Avenue near Pelham Parkway. As three men surrounded the vehicle, one in the group approached the driver’s side window and pointed a gun at the driver. 

As the driver sat helpless, the two accomplices removed 32 liquor bottles and $4,500 in cash from the vehicle. Then the trio dashed inside an apartment building at 2081 Wallace Avenue. 

No one was injured.
