Cops are on the hunt for four guys who they say attacked a 36-year-old lady at random in Dumbo on March 2.
The woman was walking on Water Street between Gold Street and Hudson Avenue at 12:40 pm when the louts came up from behind and hit her in the face, according to police. The quarrelsome quartet ran off towards Hudson Avenue, taking nothing, authorities said.
The brazen assault left some neighbors shaken.
“It’s really weird,” said Audra Nguyen who works at a restaurant near where the attack occurred. “It was the middle of the day.”
The cobblestone block where the attack occurred is one block from the Navy Yard and sits between an industrial strip and a residential neighborhood.
“I’ve never heard about anything like that around here before,” Nguyen said.
A nearby security camera captured the fearsome foursome fleeing, according to police, who are looking for help identifying the men.
