Kennedy beaten and robbed in Harlem

David Kennedy, 24, son of the late Senator Robert Kennedy, was attacked by three men in Harlem after signaling to stop his car. They dragged him into the Sheldon Hotel, stole $200 but obtained only $30, while two suspects fled with 25 packets of heroin found on a stairway. Police arrived soon after and investigated whether the drugs were dropped.
