    (NEW YORK) A rooftop drug deal gone wrong in Sunset Park on June 1 ended in pedestrians scrambling to pick up marijuana from the ground as weed rained from the sky, PIX11 reported.

    A 29-year-old man with a garbage bag full of weed met a group of people for a drug deal on the roof of an Eighth Avenue building near 46th Street, police announced Tuesday. The group pulled a gun on him, beat him and grabbed at the bag.

    The 29-year-old threw the bag, sending marijuana flying over the side of the building and onto the sidewalk, where pedestrians quickly grabbed the drugs and fled.

    The attackers fled in a black BMW sedan, while the 29-year-old was left with lacerations on his face and bruises all over his body, according to police.
