A violent gunpoint robbery took place Monday morning in Flatbush, where two armed suspects forced their way into an apartment, assaulted the victims, and fled with stolen property, including a vehicle.
According to police, the incident occurred at 9:04 AM at 1311 Avenue K. The suspects, described as two African American males wearing Amazon employee jackets, forced their way into the victim’s apartment, brandished a firearm, and assaulted the occupants with a crowbar.
The attackers stole two cellphones before making off with a 2024 white Honda Accord. The victims, who sustained injuries from the attack, were transported to Maimonides Hospital in stable condition.
The suspects were last seen fleeing southbound on East 14th Street toward Avenue L. The NYPD has launched an investigation and is working to identify and apprehend those responsible.

eric adams said its only a perception crime is up, he said he is the best mayor but the media doesnt cover his greatness
Time to have the firing range on these 2 thugs, & anything short of that implies time to fire hochul & replace her with a competent governor
Thugs? Isn’t that a bit harsh? They’re merely deprived, oppressed youths. So much incendiary rhetoric!
Arizona, comment #3, you stole my thunder. This entire story is racist in nature. The story should read, “Two humans…”
Why must we all be told of their natural features! Two people are accused of doing a bad thing! Maybe it was their own apartment and they lost the key so they needed to gain entry with a crowbar? These two probably innocently took the car thinking it was their own. Maybe they were just confused!
Question for YWN (or whichever news agency this report comes from): how do you know they’re African American? Do you know who they are?
Might it be due to their skin color? They could be Caribbean etc. no?
