The 47-year-old victim flashed his cash, which he was carrying in a backpack, during a purchase inside a local bodega on September 12.

“Wow!” police quoted the other customer as saying. “That’s a lot of money.”

The worker then sat down behind a nearby building, where three men snuck up from behind and began punching and kicking him, cops said.

One of the assailants, whose image cops released Thursday, ran off with the booty-full backpack, police said.
