Police are asking for the public’s help identifying two suspects who stole cash from a 70-year-old man on Wednesday.
Investigators say the victim was near East 212 Street and Jerome Avenue when the men approached and began speaking to him around 12:20 p.m.
One of the suspects asked for money, but the victim did not comply. The two began to shove, restrain him and remove around $200 from his shirt pocket.
They then fled the scene eastbound on East 212 Street, according to police.
Anyone with additional information is urged to call 1-800-577-TIPS.
