A trio of robbers are on the run and police need the public’s help tracking them.

The thieves struck the home on Decatur Avenue near East 211th Street during the overnight hours of Aug. 27, according to police. Police say the suspects shoved their way into the apartment and severely pummeled a 43-year-old man with a five-pound rubber dumbbell. He was rushed to the hospital and is listed in critical but stable condition.

The suspects, meantime, walked away with nothing after rifling through the victim’s dresser and closets.

Pictures of the suspects (above) were released along with a video:

 

The suspects are described the following:

The first suspect is a male black, last seen wearing a red hooded sweater, a black t-shirt and black pants.

The second is a male black, last seen wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, a gray hooded sweater, light-colored jeans and black sneakers.

The third is a male black, last seen wearing a black long sleeve shirt, dark-colored pants, white sneakers and a dark-colored baseball cap.
