Man punched in the face, robbed at gunpoint by callous trio at Central Park in broad daylight

A callous trio held a gun to a man’s head during an early Friday stick-up inside Central Park, cops said.

The three suspects approached the victim, a 42-year-old man, around 6:10 a.m. at East 59th Street and East Drive within the iconic greenspace, police said.

One of them pointed a gun at his head, while the other two punched him in the face, cops said.

The crew made off with two cell phones and a wallet, authorities said.

The suspects then ran off, heading north on the bike path toward Swan Lake.

The victim was left with minor facial injuries, and was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

No arrests have been made.
