BROOKLYN, NY — Police are asking the public's help to identify another person who was involved in a Sunset Park robbery last week that left three men hurt and one dead.
The NYPD released surveillance video late Thursday of a person involved in the Feb. 26 brawl.
The clash happened when robbery victims chased thieves from an illegal gambling den near Seventh Avenue and 57th Street and a group of Good Samaritans who were walking by jumped in to help, according to police and reports. Four men were stabbed in the melee and one of them, Yong Zheng, died of his injuries, police said.
