Police have arrested two men in connection with a string of violent robberies that took place on a single morning earlier this month.
Abdul Kareem Moazb, 20, and Kareem Ahmed, 17, assaulted and robbed at least eight people in Borough Park, Bensonhurst and Sunset Park on Oct. 5, police said.
In each of the incidents, the suspects struck the victims with a blunt object and punched and kicked them before removing their property, police said.
The violent spree began at about 2 a.m. in the vicinity of 59th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway when they attacked a 24-year-old man for his wallet, iPhone and $100 in cash.
