Ariana Grande’s Brother Frankie Grande Viciously Mugged in NYC
Ariana Grande’s brother Frankie Grande was viciously mugged in Midtown Manhattan, including by a 13-year-old punk, police said Tuesday.
As reported by New York Post, Frankie Grande, a social media personality who is the 39-year-old brother of the pop singer, was walking on Eighth Avenue between 43rd and 44th streets around 6 p.m. Nov. 9 when the young brute and a 17-year-old cohort smashed the victim in the back of the head, cops said.
Police said Grande was robbed of his Louis Vuitton bag with his iPhone, AirPods, sunglasses, and wallet. He refused medical attention at the scene.
“Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers,” he wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “I am so thankful to be safe and healing. Keep shrinking bright and stay safe out there.”
The two accused teen muggers were nabbed when they tried to use the celebrity big brother’s card nearby.
They had on them an imitation pistol and razor blade, police said.
His alleged assailants were charged with robbery, grand larceny, unlawful use of a credit card, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of the stolen property, menacing, and harassment, according to police.
Their names have not been released.
