Blotter: Man says he was jumped outside Greenport laundromat

A Greenport man who appeared on the doorstep of Eastern Long Island Hospital with a possible fractured rib and a lacerated lip Saturday night said he had been attacked by three men behind the Greenport laundromat on Adams Street.

The man said he was walking on the sidewalk at about 7:45 p.m. when a dark-colored sedan pulled up behind him and three men he’d never seen before jumped out. He said one hit him with a blunt object and the other two punched him, until they managed to steal his wallet from his pocket, got in the car and drove away.

The victim described his assailants as two black men, one in a tan sweater and one wearing a black jacket, and one Hispanic man wearing a red sweater. The victim then walked to the hospital, where he was interviewed by police. The investigation is continuing.

• A resident of Bay Avenue in East Marion reported that a MacBook Pro was stolen from her house sometime between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. on March 4. Police said the victim left her doors unlocked and her windows open and there was no sign of forced entry. A neighbor reported seeing a sedan parked at the road’s dead end near the victim’s house and a man in his 50s or 60s on the victim’s porch during the day. The neighbor told police he didn’t think there was anything suspicious since people in the neighborhood often walk across the victim’s porch to get to the beach. Detectives are investigating.
