BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- Four teens pummeled a Brooklyn man to steal his iPhone 6 last month, according to police.

Video shows the foursome cornering their 38-year-old victim on Cleveland Street near Ridgewood Avenue at about 12:20 a.m. on Dec. 18, police said.

One teen throws a wide punch at the man, another throws him against a parked car and knocks him to the ground, video shows.

The group quickly scatters, but two attackers rush back to grab something from the ground.

The victim was bruised and swollen after his run-in with the muggers but refused medical attention, police said.

Police released photos and video of the suspects, whom they describe as four young men in their late teens, early Thursday morning.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police.
