BRONX - An elderly man entering his building was knocked upside the head and robbed during a mugging across the street from Yankee Stadium, the NYPD announced. 

At around 1:15 pm on March 24, a 70-year-old man was entering his building in the vicinity of Anderson Avenue and Jerome Avenue, across the street from Yankee Stadium. Cops said a man walked up behind the resident and hit him in the head within an unknown object. 

The attacker then reached into the stunned victim’s right front pocket and removed his wallet, cops said. The attacker then ran out of the building and fled in an unknown direction. 

The victim was transported to a local hospital by private means. He was treated for bruising and injuries. Cops said the victim’s wallet only contained credit cards and a MetroCard.
