NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- Newly released photos depict the two men who threatened to hurt a man at a Manhattan subway station if he didn't give them thousands in cash, according to cops.

Police said on Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m., a 19-year-old man was walking on the mezzanine at the 1/2/3 train Chambers Street station when two people approached him and said, "Get over here, give me all your money or I'll hurt you."


The victim gave them $100 from his wallet, but that wasn't enough, police said. The two told him they wanted $2,000, and asked him to go to a bank for it.

Cops said the victim, followed by the two suspects, went to a TD Bank at 166 Chambers St. and withdrew $800.

After the two suspects said the $800 wasn't enough, the victim went inside to the teller window, where a worker noticed he was in distress and asked if he was OK, police said.

At that point, the two suspects ran away from the area. The victim wasn't injured, according to cops.

The NYPD released several photos of the two people they're looking for. Both are described as men with a dark complexion and thin builds.
