"Michael Brown, of Crown Heights, had refused to speak with police or go to the hospital after he was assaulted on Park Place and Utica Ave. at 4:40 a.m, NYPD officials said.

Several hours later EMS workers upon arriving at his Park Place apartment, found Brown battered and clinging to life around 5 p.m, cops said."

"A Brooklyn man died of his injuries 14 hours after muggers brutally punched and kicked him — and he declined medical attention, police said.

Michael Brown, 39, had taken a walk to his neighborhood bodega on Utica Avenue in Crown Heights early Saturday when a group of five men confronted him in the store and stole his cellphone, police said.

Brown made two grave decisions — first confronting the muggers, and then refusing medical attention at the scene after the gang gave him what proved to be a fatal beating.

Instead, he trudged home.

Then, at around 6:15 p.m. Saturday, horrified relatives found him coughing up blood and losing consciousness, cops said.

Brown died at a hospital shortly after. Cops are seeking the suspects."

Horrible.  

these pictures are now in my cell phone for easy reference. A Horrible crime, and for what?

NYPD arrested 2 of the suspects a few days ago.

I wonder why the victim refused to speak to the cops about what happened after the incident. According to the article that is.

He may have spoken to the cops, but declined medical attention.

NYPD has arrested an additional suspect.
