Two men robbed at gunpoint in Jamaica: DA

JAMAICA — A 34-year-old man is under arrest after he allegedly mugged two men at gunpoint last week, the Queens district attorney’s office said.

Brian K. White, of 157th Street, was arraigned Nov. 15 on several charges, including armed robbery, criminal possession of a weapon and assault, according to the Queens DA’s office.

Two days earlier, two men went inside a home, at 172nd Street and Baisley Boulevard around 4 p.m., when one of the victims was struck in the head with a gun by an unapprehended man, the criminal complaint said.

When the second victim tried to help his friend, who was getting mugged by the unapprehended man, White allegedly took out a gun and ordered the victim not to move, according to the complaint.

White then struck the second victim in the face with his weapon and placed him in a headlock, the complaint said.

Police recovered a loaded .38-caliber revolver from a bathroom in the house, according to the complaint.
