Four teenagers in Queens have been arrested in a series of brutal muggings, one of which was caught in graphic detail on a surveillance video. They are accused of robbing six men in a string of violent incidents over the last two weeks. One of the victims told NY1, "I felt like I was going to die. You panic. You think, how could this be happening to me? You see it in the movies and you really don't think its going to happen to you."
Two of the robberies took place in Long Island City where deliverymen from the Bel Aire Diner were making dropoffs in the area. Through a translator, one of them said, "I thought they had a weapon, that's why I didn't defend myself; I didn't do anything. I let them take my money. I let them take everything because I thought they had the weapon or something."
The four men arrested are ages 18 and 19 from Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx respectively. Below is the video of one of the deliverymen being robbed in a building lobby on January 16. He along with his fellow co-worker and victim have already returned to work at the Bel Aire.
