An off-duty NYPD cop was robbed of his gun and beaten during a fight with a group of other men in Hell’s Kitchen early Friday, cops said.
The 42-year-old victim was outside the Hudson Market Place on Ninth Avenue near West 51st Street around 4:30 a.m. – joined by another man whose exact relationship with him is unclear, police said.
