Employees at Bushwick’s Marte Hall were robbed and beaten at gunpoint earlier this month, according to NYPD.
Police say that on the night of April 13, a man walked into Marte Hall, located at 81 Seigel Street, and approached an employee to ask about renting the catering hall.
The man left and returned a little while later, accompanied by another man. Both men then took out firearms and demanded money from the 29-year-old employee.
The suspects then bounded the victim with extension cords. When the employee tried to free himself, the suspects repeatedly punched and kicked him, as well as striking him in the head with the gun, cops say.
The suspects took a red and black book bag from the victim and left the catering hall on foot.
The suspect, police say, sustained numerous bruises and cuts to his head and body. He was taken to Kings County Hospital, treated, and later released.
