The police are looking for several individuals involved in an attempted robbery Monday evening in Astoria. The suspects can be seen in a security video released by the NYPD.
The individuals approached a 53-year-old man in front of 31-25 45th Street, brandished a firearm and demanded he give them his cell phone, cops said. The victim threw his phone away from the individuals, while a witness dialed 911. The suspects ran empty-handed toward 31st Street.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of these individuals is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
