A crew of roving robbers are terrorizing a Brooklyn neighborhood in a series of violent street muggings, police said — as cops released surveillance footage of the suspects on Wednesday.
The Bushwick robbery spree began when three strangers crept up behind a 26-year-old man and snarled “run your pockets or we will stab you” on Aug. 18 near Broadway and Halsey Street around 4 a.m, according to authorities.
The frightened victim forked over his credit cards before the perps fled on foot, heading northbound on Broadway.
A week later, they struck again — adding one more pal to their crime-seeking posse.
In another come-from-behind attack, one of the bullies pummeled a 21-year-old man in the face in front of 1245 Broadway around 11:20 p.m. on Aug. 25.
“You wanna fight? Give me what you got in your pockets. Give me your wallet and bags,” the Bushwick bandits told the victim.
They then stole his backpack, a book, $40 and a debit card before running away southbound on Goodwin Plaza, cops said.
The victim refused medical attention at the scene.
Their last suspected attack occurred on Sept. 18 when they approached from behind two unsuspecting children — an 11-year-old boy and 13-year-old boy — near Kosciuszko Street and Broadway around 8:25 p.m.
One of them pistol whipped the younger kid, while another in the group snatched his backpack.
The two other attackers punched and kicked the older boy before stealing his bag, police said.
Both kids were taken by EMTs to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition.
Their attackers fled, heading southbound on Kosciuszko Street.
Cops put out surveillance footage of the group heading into a store during the night of their first attack on Wednesday afternoon.
