The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two men depicted in the attached photos and video who are wanted for questioning in connection to a robbery which occurred within the confines of the 52nd precinct.

On Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020, at approximately 00:40 a.m., the two unidentified men entered the New Way Deli, located at 77 Kingsbridge Road, in the Fordham Manor section of the Bronx.

 

Once inside, one of the men struck a customer in the face with a closed fist, knocking the victim to the ground.
