Police released on Thursday images of two suspects who allegedly robbed a man at knifepoint in Ozone Park on Valentine’s Day.
At 8:50 a.m. on Feb. 14, law enforcement sources said, the crooks approached the 19-year-old male victim walking in the area of Liberty Avenue and 107th Street.
One of the suspects pulled out a knife and forcibly removed the man’s wallet, which contained an estimated $50 in cash and his identification. Authorities said the duo then fled on foot in an unknown direction.
Officers from the 106th Precinct responded to the incident; the victim was not injured in the caper.
Police described both suspects as Hispanic men in their 20s. One was seen on video wearing a baseball cap backwards and all-dark clothing, while his partner-in-crime wore a black New York Yankees baseball cap, a yellow-and-black jacket and dark-colored pants.
Anyone with information regarding the suspects’ whereabouts is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA), visit their website or send a text message to 274637 (CRIMES), then enter TIP577. All calls and messages are kept confidential.
