NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are looking for two men who threatened a 17-year-old boy in Queens last Sunday with a gun and a gold club and forced him to strip before robbing him.

The NYPD released photos of the suspects on Wednesday.

The victim was walking around 115th Avenue and Springfield Boulevard around 8:23 p.m. when the suspects approached him and chased him. One of the males brandished a club, while the other displayed a gun.

The thieves demanded property from the victim and proceeded to forcibly remove his jacket, sneakers, jeans and cellphone. They then fled northbound on Nashville Boulevard on foot with over $3,600 worth of property.

The victim did not sustain any physical injuries as a result of the mugging.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
