NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police released images Wednesday of two men who allegedly beat and robbed an Upper West Side smoke shop worker last month.

According to police, one of the thieves entered the 85 Convenient Store at 523 Amsterdam Ave. on April 24 around 12:55 p.m. and approached the store counter while talking to a 24-year-old worker.


He then reached over the counter and started to take merchandise while the second man acted as a lookout in the entranceway of the store.

The first man reached over the counter several more times and punched the victim in the head before exiting the location with around $175 worth of merchandise.

The duo then fled on foot westbound on West 85th Street.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
