Hit with shovel during robbery

A Chinese restaurant delivery man was hit over the head with a shovel and robbed by a group of juveniles who surrounded him as he was making a delivery late Sunday night, officials said yesterday.

The 50-year-old Elmhurst, N.Y., man said he was making a delivery on Winfield Avenue at about 11:12 p.m. when three boys and a girl exited an apartment building and surrounded him, reports said. One of the boys hit him with the shovel and the others grabbed the food he was delivering, reports said.

The victim said the juveniles then returned to a first-floor apartment and no one left the apartment while he waited for police to arrive, reports said, adding that he also gave police the phone number from which the food was ordered.

It does not appear that any arrests were made, based on the police report.
