A 40-year-old man was hospitalized in critical but stable condition Tuesday after being attacked by three people while sitting on a motorized scooter in downtown Brooklyn, according to police.
The incident began around 4:47 p.m. in front of 142 Lawrence Street, when a verbal argument turned violent. According to authorities, the first assailant hit the victim in the face, causing him to fall off his scooter. The three accused then repeatedly punched and kicked the victim in the body.
