NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A Queens carjacking victim was pulled out of his car at gunpoint and kidnapped by a group of men who put a bag over his head, zip-tied his hands and abandoned him in Nassau County.
The NYPD released images of multiple suspects Wednesday as they detailed the horrifying ordeal from the morning of Oct. 24.
The 42-year-old victim was sitting inside his car at 35th Avenue and 146th Street in Flushing around 6 a.m. when a Honda Pilot pulled up and three men got out.
The men tapped on the victim’s window with guns and then dragged him onto the street, where they put a plastic bag over his head and zip-tied his hands while demanding money, police said.
The thieves then forced the man back into his vehicle and demanded he take them to his home, where they stole an undetermined amount of money.
They then drove the victim to a mystery location in Nassau County, where they left him before taking off in his car.
The victim refused medical attention at the scene. His stolen car was recovered in Queens 10 days later, police said.
Investigators believe the suspects are in their early-to-mid 20s.
The NYPD has also linked them to an attempted carjacking that happened just hours before the kidnapping.
Police said a 43-year-old man was sitting in his car at the corner of Totten Street and Utopia Parkway in Whitestone, Queens, around 1 a.m. on Oct. 24 when two men with guns pulled up behind him in a vehicle.
The men banged on his window and demanded he get out. But the men were unable to start the car and instead fled with the victim’s cellphone and backpack, which had a combined value of $4,315, police said.
No injuries were reported in that robbery.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
