BRONX - An elderly man was viciously beaten about the head by a gunman who robbed a Bronx car dealership in broad daylight. 

At around 5 pm on April 30, a man wearing a dark hoodie, ski mask and black gloves walked into New York Motors LLC. on Boston Road in Allerton. The man pulled out a gun and demanded cash. 

Cops say the gunman then proceeded to punch and kick an 80-year-old man inside the dealership office. He repeatedly punched and stomped on the elderly man about the head and body. 

The attacker then removed $3,000 in cash as well the victim’s iPhone and a car key fob. The suspect then ran out the door and fled northbound on Boston Road. 

The victim refused medical attention at the scene. 

Police released surveillance video of the suspect taken from inside the office of the car dealership. The suspect was dressed in dark pants and shoes as well as a dark hoodie. He wore a black ski mask as well. He wore black gloves and was seen in the video holding a semi-automatic handgun. Underneath his black hoodie, the gunman appeared to be wearing a thinner grey camo hoddie.
