The NYPD is asking for the public’s assistance in locating the person seen in the attached photos who is one of two people sought for questioning in connection with a home invasion robbery that occurred in Mt. Hope.
It was reported to police at the 46th Precinct that on Tuesday, Sept. 27, at approximately 7.40 p.m., two unidentified people gained entry to an apartment located at 1695 Grand Concourse.
Once inside, the two displayed guns and demanded property from two apartment occupants, one a 35-year-old man and another, a 45-year-old man.
The assailants allegedly struck the 45-year-old man in the head with a gun and allegedly stole around $70 and two cellphones from the victims. They then fled the location in an unknown direction.
“The victims were treated at the scene by EMS and refused further medical attention,” a police spokesperson said.
