Yonkers police are investigating a rash of violent robberies targeting Chinese food deliverymen.
Police say three deliverymen have been beaten and robbed after being sent to phony addresses in the past two days. A deliveryman had to be hospitalized Monday after his jaw was broken. The latest robbery involved two men who punched the deliveryman and robbed him of $70.
Many Chinese food restaurants are now taking precautions when going out on deliveries.
