    A disturbing new video shows the moment a group of migrant men from Venezuela attacked and robbed a Chicago straphanger in February — with one of the men choking the victim unconscious as the rest rifled through his pockets.

    The four suspects — Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, Carlos Carreno-Carreno and Yonnier Guasamucare Garcia — approached their 49-year-old target on a Windy City commuter train on Feb. 17 and started chatting him up, according to surveillance video obtained by Fox News.

    But the affable facade — which included passing around a cigarette or a joint inside the car — concealed their true motive.

    Suddenly, one of the migrants lunged for the unidentified victim, seized him around the neck and sunk a chokehold that eventually knocked him out, the video showed.

    Police said one of the suspects pulled a knife and held it to the victim’s throat — as his criminal colleagues rifled through the man’s pockets, the video showed.

    The group, all of whom ranged in age from 18 to 22, grabbed $400 and a cellphone from the man before taking off, Fox said.

    The migrants — who had only been in the country for a few months at most before the attack — were arrested about 45 minutes later.

    Authorities charged each with robbery, aggravated battery/strangulation and attempted murder.

    At a Tuesday court appearance in Cook County, a judge remanded Carreno-Carreno, Loyo-Rodriguez and Guasamucare Garcia and cut loose Gutierrez Sierra with electronic monitoring.

    Their next hearing is Aug. 28.

    Immigration experts have said that three of the four defendants could be deported if they’re convicted of a felony.
