The New York City Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals seen in the attached video and photos who are sought in connection with a robbery that occurred in the 46th precinct.
It was reported to police that on Wednesday, April 14, at around 3.25 p.m., in front of 8 East 177th Street in Mount Hope, two individuals, both riding a black moped, cut off a 27-year-old male victim, who was also riding a moped.
The two suspects then attempted to take the victim’s moped, but a physical altercation ensued between the victim and one of the suspects (Individual #1), who then managed to remove the victim’s cell phone.
Bystanders at the location began to intervene, and both suspects fled the location on their moped, traveling eastbound on East 177th Street, and then southbound on Walton Avenue. The victim sustained a scrape to the left knee, and pain to his back but refused medical attention at the scene.
Individual #1 is described as a man in his 20s, with a medium complexion, is between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 9 inches tall, has a slim build, and was last seen wearing a black, hooded jacket with white stripes across the shoulders, dark pants and white sneakers.
Individual #2 is described as a man in his 20s, with a medium complexion, is between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 9 inches tall, has a heavy build, and was last seen wearing a black face mask, a dark gray, hooded sweatshirt with the words, “NOWHERE TO GO” on the front, black sweatpants with white, outlined lettering, and black sneakers.
Surveillance video and photos showing the two individuals, which were obtained from the incident location, are attached.
