Gunmen robbing unsuspecting parkgoers in Central Park at gunpoint occurred on Thursday night, targeting six individuals across four separate incidents over the course of about an hour. The first robbery happened around 8:41 p.m., near East 79th Street and East Drive, where a 28-year-old man was approached by three men who stole his cellphone at gunpoint before fleeing on bicycles. Another incident occurred about 50 minutes later, with a 46-year-old man robbed near East 109th Street. Fifteen minutes after that, police responded to two more robberies near East 106th Street and East Drive involving separate victims. Police were still investigating whether all the robberies involved the same suspects as of Friday morning.
