Shop worker hit with BBs mops, brooms

Two men and a woman armed with BB guns opened fire on a Kosher pizzeria worker in Midtown, then attacked him with mops and brooms, police said Friday.

The assault — which took place at 1 a.m. on May 8 — appears to be unprovoked, police said.

The 39-year-old victim was standing in front of the Bravo Kosher Pizza on W. 37th St. near 6th Ave. smoking a cigarette when a black SUV pulled up and the suspects started blasting BBs, police said.

After getting hit above the eye, the victim threw something at his attackers, according to the pizzeria manager, who declined to give his name. The victim then ran inside the pizzeria and the suspects gave chase, grabbed the mops and brooms and threw them at him, missing their target.

They then drove off in the same vehicle, police said. The manager did not believe the incident was the result of anti-Semitism. The victim is not Jewish, the manager said.

Medics treated the victim at the scene.

Anyone with information about the suspects was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
