NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) — The NYPD on Thursday released a photo of a suspect accused of violently robbing a man of his wallet after getting out of his car in Queens over the weekend.

At approximately 6:40 a.m. on Saturday, May 25, a 46-year-old man was in his vehicle in the vicinity of 92nd Street and Elmhurst Avenue in Jackson Heights, when he was approached by the suspect.
