Crime in Atlantic City is no new story, but a recent robbery has left one man injured both in the wallet and of the flesh. Suyun Gu, 25, was assaulted by three men on an elevator shortly after 2 in the morning.
Gu was robbed after leaving the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. Reports show that Gu was walking into a parking garage after his excursion to the casino. Gu entered an empty elevator, and was followed by one of the suspects. He was quickly assaulted, and eventually joined by two other suspects who had joined in on the beating.
Gu was kicked repeatedly on the floor, and had lost $5,000 and an iPhone in the attack. The victim suffered scratches on his face, cuts on the hands, and other contusions.
Gu was not seriously injured in the attack.
The suspects were described as black males, both wearing baseball hats and zippered up jackets. Police are on the look out for the suspects, and anyone with information surrounding the crime is advised to call local police.
Atlantic City’s hurting revenues are not helped by the criminal activities that some have chosen to partake in. Pennsylvania’s explosive growth has also contributed to the ailing state of affairs in Atlantic City.
