Woman doused with bleach, bludgeoned by four in NYC furniture store mugging

A violent crew bludgeoned a 24-year-old woman inside a Bronx furniture store and doused her with bleach before swiping her cellphone, cops said.

Two men and two women stormed up to the victim inside the Fat Albert and Hollywood Furniture store on East 138th Street near St. Ann’s Avenue in Mott Haven around 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said. 

They whacked her with a “blunt instrument” before grabbing her phone and throwing bleach on her, cops said.
