Police are trying to track down the attacker.  Based on various social media posts, 'RickeyBot' believes he may have been targeted.

The victim is reportedly recovering from a bruised jaw.

I got mugged playing Pokémon GO in Central Park. Still talking to police and will go to hospital soon. My jaw is a mess. Thanks all.
