BRONX - A Gucci wearing mugger is being sought by police in connection with a violent attack across the street from Crotona Park, the NYPD announced. 


The man being sought by cops was decked out in designer threads including a Gucci baseball cap, according to the surveillance video released by the NYPD. Cops said this is one of two people who beat a man during a morning robbery last month. 


At around 11:15 am on February 5, a 42-year-old man was standing in front of 1639 Fulton Avenue across from Crotona Park. Cops said the well-dressed suspect and another man ran up to the victim and began attacking him. The two robbers repeatedly punched and kicked the victim before forcibly removing his two cellphones. 


After stealing the phones, the attackers hopped into a nearby silver Hyundai four-door sedan and drove off, cops said. 


EMS transported the victim to Lincoln Hospital where he was treated. 


Cops only have a description of the suspect in the video. He is described as a male with a dark complexion and slim build. He was last seen wearing a tan hat, white hooded sweatshirt, black pants, glasses and multicolored sneakers.


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls are strictly confidential.
