An off-duty cop from the New York Police Department (NYPD) was the victim of a mugging when he went for a jog Tuesday morning in the Bronx borough of New York City.

The 48-year-old police officer, who has been working at the Central Park precinct for 18 years, was jogging near 823 Olmstead Avenue when he was attacked by three men, The New York Post reported. The alleged assailants reportedly struck the cop’s head repeatedly, leaving him with a fractured skull and bleeding in his brain.
