Muggers rob Bronx construction worker of $100K in cash from workman’s compensation settlement - he was carrying it in a backpack​

A Bronx construction worker carrying $100,000 from his recently cashed workman’s compensation settlement check was bum rushed in Concourse by three men who beat him and took his money, police said Thursday.

The 47-year-old victim flashed his cash, which he was carrying in a backpack, as he made a purchase inside a bodega at the corner of Walton Ave. and E. 167th St. on September 12.

“Wow!” police quoted a customer in the store as saying. “That’s a lot of money.”

The victim got the settlement after he suffered an injury in 2020 while working in construction.
After the purchase in the bodega, the victim left and went to meet a friend nearby, behind a building on Gerard Ave. near McClellan St. in Concourse.

As he sat on a bench and waited for his friend, the three suspects came up from behind and assaulted him. They punched, kicked him and beat him with a stick before they took his camouflage-patterned backpack, which held the cash, and ran off, police said.

Besides the $100,000 in cash, the backpack also contained personal identification cards and documents, said police.
Police released a photo of a suspect escaping with the bag. He’s about 30 years old, Black and slim with braided black hair. His accomplices are about the same age and are both dark-skinned, said police.

The bodega customer who saw the money in the backpack was not among the three, but police said it’s possible he tipped off the trio.
Anyone with information is asked to call the CrimeStoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.

What does "dark skinned" even mean. Like "dark" in NYC seems different than "dark" in SC/GA/FL but.....

Guess they added Black to make sure we know they ain't West Indian, Rican, Dominican etc.

This dude told me he "owe" so he didn't fukk with the banks...

It might be taxes,child support etc

In that case...keep the money in the bag and go straight home. Lock it up in a safe and then pull a little out for shopping and shyt.

Dude wanted to flash that money.

It means one of them was undoubtedly Black and the others likely Black but not for certain.

So like getting robbed by Casanova, TI and Nipsey Hussle with masks on , one might tell the police “I know for sure one of them was Black the other two maybe Spanish idk”

Would the news see the guy was West Indian black by looking at him with a mask on?

Company took their money back. Sounds like a scam
