Three Men Assaulted And Robbed Another On Nassau Street: Police

A Westbury man was arrested on Tuesday and charged with robbing an acquaintance of his in Roosevelt.

According to police, at 10:45 a.m. on Monday, a 42-year-old man got into a car driven by Ayman Hubud, 23, of Westbury, who the man knew, and two other men he didn't know. Hubud drove to the intersection of Meyer Street and Eeast Greenwich Street, police say, and then took out a box cutter and told the victim he was going to be robbed.

The victim opened the door and tried to flee, police say, but all three men caught him and assaulted him by kicking and punching him. Police say the men stole his backpack, cell phone, cash and medication. They then got back into the car and drove off in an unknown direction.

The man suffered injuries to his head and back and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Both of the other men were in their mid-20s. One had dreadlocks and one was wearing a red do-rag.

Police located Hubud on at 4 p.m. on Tuesday and placed him under arrest. He is charged with first-degree robbery, and is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday in First District Court in Hempstead.
