EMS rushed the victim to Lincoln Hospital but he could not be saved. His name was not immediately released.
The victim’s last known address was in Brooklyn. He had been arrested a handful of times for robbery and reckless endangerment but it was unclear if his criminal history played any role in his death, a police source said.
