Frankie Grande, Ariana Grande’s Brother, Punched & Mugged In NYC

Frankie Grande, the brother of pop star Ariana Grande, was mugged by two teenagers in New York City last week.

The 39-year-old was walking in Midtown last week when he was mugged around 6:30 p.m.

NYPD alleged that the teens, 13 and 17, punched Grande in the back of the head before stealing his Louis Vuitton bag containing his iPhone, AirPods, designer sunglasses and wallet. The assailants attempted to use the stolen credit card at a smoke shop before they were arrested.

The pair face counts of robbery, grand larceny and harassment, among other charges. The suspects allegedly had an imitation pistol, a razor blade and prescription painkillers when they were arrested.

Police said Grande refused medical attention despite being struck from behind. The former Big Brother star posted an Instagram story after the incident thanking his fans for their “thoughts and prayers.”

“I am so thankful to be safe and healing,” he wrote. “Keep shining bright and stay safe out there.”
