Pedestrian hit by car and then robbed while struggling to survive on NYC street

A man was hit by a car and then robbed as he lay splayed out on the ground struggling to survive.

The 39-year-old white victim was walking on the sidewalk when a black, four-door sedan containing two black males slammed into him around 6:40 a.m. Saturday, according to police.

The video shows the victim being thrown into the air before he lands on the street.

“The individuals returned back to the scene and check the victim’s pockets before fleeing to parts unknown,” the NYPD said in a release.

An emergency crew took the victim to Lincoln Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, cops said.

The first robber was a “male, dark complexion, thin build, Afro hair,” the NYPD said. He was last seen wearing black pants, black sneakers and a hooded sweatshirt.

The second was also described as a “male, dark complexion, thin build, Afro hair.” He was last seen wearing light colored sweatpants, a black hooded sweatshirt and sneakers.

This is sn example of what the urban areas economy is like. Not just the fact that anyone robbed them.

Try paying $4,000 a month for rent on a minimum wage income for New York city on minimum wage, even state minimum wage, and see if you don't rob people when you're hungry.

Better paying jobs this simply wouldn't happen.

This doesn't even get reported in rural areas yet happens all the time. No one to report it!

It does happen in rural areas though! See your local sheriff's reports! Outright murder has been known in such cases.

No sheriff's report will make any local news any more. They use to though. Too boring now, no details!!!

It would read something like.

10:41 man hit by hit-and-run car on such and such street.

Ten other incidents

11:31 robbery repoted on such and such street.

No other details given.
