The New York City Police Department has released a graphic video of a 26-year-old man beaten, stripped and robbed last week in Chinatown. 

The man is seen getting off a bus and being attacked by a group of nearly a dozen men and women who beat him, cut him and then ran off with his clothing and phone.

Police said the attackers even took the victim's underwear.

The group attacked the individual Friday morning when he arrived back in the city from Atlanta. The man, who is from Brooklyn, is seen in the video running from the group and then being beaten down and suffering several large cuts from an unknown object.

 

"They attacked him as soon as he got off the bus from Atlanta," a police source told The New York Post.

The group then fled the scene in three vehicles. Police have been searching for the suspects in what they are calling a robbery.
