""It was really messy," said one witness who asked not to be identified. "I couldn't really see the details. Five, 10 seconds later, [the attackers] just started running away from the [victim]. They were yelling.""
"The witness said at least three of the alleged attackers were on mopeds. "The people that are on mopeds, I think they went down [the block] or they went to the right, because there's an exit on the side of the park," said the witness."
""[It's] something regular that's happening in Brooklyn," said the witness. "This is not that uncommon over here.""

The attackers assaulted the victim, threatened him with knives, and stole his jacket before fleeing the scene. Witnesses reported seeing some attackers on mopeds and others running away on foot. The victim was taken to Lutheran Hospital and is expected to recover fully. The incident reflects a troubling trend of similar crimes in Brooklyn.
