Police released a new photo of a man who they say is responsible for a series of knifepoint robberies throughout Maspeth, Ridgewood and Middle Village.
Kevin Allen, 51, was identified as the suspect by the NYPD on July 23. He is described as having black hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing 190 pounds.

The victims complied each time, and the suspect took off with hundreds of dollars in cash.
