A man and woman pounced on a food deliveryman in a Bronx building lobby earlier this month, violently beating him to the ground and robbing him, graphic surveillance video released by cops Tuesday shows.
The duo demanded money and then attacked the 21-year-old, who was described by police as being Bangladeshi, around 11 p.m. Feb. 2 at 2802 Olinville Ave. in Allerton as he made a delivery, cops said.
The man hit the deliveryman in the face repeatedly before the woman yanked at his shirt and pulled it over his head. Both of them kicked the man in the face and body, forcing him to the ground.
