An off-duty New York cop was mugged at gunpoint in The Bronx early Sunday, with the crooks making off with his wallet — and police badge, the NYPD said.
Four men approached the 36-year-old Wallkill officer and a 35-year-old pal near Merritt and Givan avenues around Co-op City about 1 a.m., police said.
One of the suspects pulled a gun and demanded the victims’ property, cops said. The cop lost his wallet and shield in the stick-up, and both men also were forced to cough up credit cards, a watch, bracelet and cell phone between them, police said.
The criminals then jumped into a black 2016 Mercedes-Benz with Pennsylvania plates and sped off, cops said.
The victim, who lives in Middletown, and his friend were in an industrial area when the stick-up happened.
