Nassau police say a robber dressed as a clown seriously assaulted a partygoer on Halloween in East Massapequa.
The victim was attending a house party when the clown-mask-clad robber struck the 17-year-old boy with a baseball bat and stole $300 cash at 9:30 p.m., according to 7th Squad detectives. The victim was taken to Nassau University Medical Center by a relative for treatment of facial trauma.
No witnesses have come forward and due to the victim’s injuries, investigators have not been able to fully interview him and are not sure where exactly the party took place, a Nassau police spokesman said. The investigation is continuing.
Detectives request anyone with information regarding this crime to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
