Police are looking for two men wanted for a robbery at gunpoint in Boro Park.
It happened at around 11:00PM on 55th Street and 14th Avenue. The two suspects exited the (D) train station at 55th Street and New Utrecht Avenue, and walked to 14th Avenue and 55th Street.
They approached a Hasidic man walking on the street, displayed a handgun, and demanded the mans phone and wallet.
The victim complied with their demands, and handed over the wallet and phone. Both men fled on foot back towards the train station.
Boro Park Shomrim and the NYPD canvassed the area and searched camera footage, but were unable to apprehend the suspects.
A photo of the two suspects is attached.
If you have any information, please call 911 and then the Boro Park Shomrim 24 hour hotline at 718-871-6666.

He’s a smart man for complying with the thugs demand. A much better story than when we read about someone who foolishly fights back against someone who is even potentially armed.
Of what race are the suspects? Who should we be looking for?
Back to Dinkins’ days
Seriously I’m 2019 that’s the best picture we can get? Roller coasters get 1000 better shots while moving 100 times faster. Anyone’s phone would also. Why are security cameras which are the only thing the picture being taken is actually important is the quality so primitive?
Joseph says he’s a smart man for paying the “street tax”. However, in the rest of America, everyone is carrying and the story always ends the same way. The mugger is shot and gets nothing. Least they don’t have to be smart for these obvious racially motivated robberies.
No more hoodies allowed! NY and everywhere else should ban hooodies!
