Crown Heights: Brooklyn Man Killed by Group of 5 Suspected Muggers: Police

"Michael Brown, of Crown Heights, had refused to speak with police or go to the hospital after he was assaulted on Park Place and Utica Ave. at 4:40 a.m, NYPD officials said.

Several hours later EMS workers upon arriving at his Park Place apartment, found Brown battered and clinging to life around 5 p.m, cops said."

"A Brooklyn man died of his injuries 14 hours after muggers brutally punched and kicked him — and he declined medical attention, police said.

Michael Brown, 39, had taken a walk to his neighborhood bodega on Utica Avenue in Crown Heights early Saturday when a group of five men confronted him in the store and stole his cellphone, police said.

Brown made two grave decisions — first confronting the muggers, and then refusing medical attention at the scene after the gang gave him what proved to be a fatal beating.

Instead, he trudged home.

Then, at around 6:15 p.m. Saturday, horrified relatives found him coughing up blood and losing consciousness, cops said.

Brown died at a hospital shortly after. Cops are seeking the suspects."

Horrible.  

NYPD arrested 2 of the suspects a few days ago.

He may have spoken to the cops, but declined medical attention.
