NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – The NYPD released images Thursday of two men wanted for robbing at least six people in Lower Manhattan and beating a 14-year-old boy on Staten Island over the course of just a week.
The robberies happened between Feb. 10 and Feb. 17, mostly in the evening hours.
All six robberies in Lower Manhattan involved the suspects snatching headphones from the head of each victim, police said.
The victims included a 29-year-old man on John Street in the Financial District; a 30-year-old woman on Church Street in Tribeca; an 18-year-old woman on Warren Street in Tribeca; a 30-year-old woman on Murray Street in Tribeca; a 16-year-old girl near the South Ferry subway station; and a 31-year-old woman on Nassau Street near City Hall.
No one was injured in those robberies.
However, in the seventh robbery on Staten Island, the 14-year-old victim was pummeled in his face and left hospitalized with a broken tooth. Police said he was on Merivale Lane in Clifton at 8:40 p.m. on Feb. 10 when the suspects beat him and stole his Moose Knuckles jacket.
