Video: 83-Year-Old Man Sucker Punched, Robbed At Gunpoint

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN — Two masked men sucker punched and robbed an 83-year-old at gunpoint inside a Bed-Stuy elevator, a video released by police shows.

They ran off with the man's wallet — which had $150 worth of money orders inside — but also the NYPD's full attention.

Police blasted the April 13 video on Twitter and asked the public for help tracking down the suspects.

"WANTED for ROBBERY: Do you know these guys?" wrote NYPD's official Twitter account.

The videos taken from inside an apartment building at MacDonough Street and Thomas S. Boyland Street hints the suspects had a plan to attack and rob the elderly man, who walked away from the incident with minor injuries.

One man, wearing now-mandatory coronavirus face covering, walks ahead of the victim to press an elevator button inside the building's lobby. Another man, his mask below his chin, flanks them and starts to raise up his sunglasses, the video shows.

By the time they're all in the elevator, the second man has his sunglasses and mask covering his face, the elevator video shows. They all pause for a moment before the first man sucker punches the victim, the videos shows.

The second man then holds a gun to the back of the victim's head, the video shows.

The two attackers took the man's wallet and ran off down MacDonough Street, authorities said. Medics treated the man for minor injuries at the building, police said.

The suspect who walked ahead of the victim has eyeglasses and was last seen wearing a black hooded jacket, black pants, black sneakers, a blue mask and white gloves.

The other suspect, whose face is briefly visible in the lobby video, was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweater, a black jacket, black pants, white sneakers, a blue mask and white gloves.

People with information are asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
