NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man forced a 6-year-old boy and other customers into a closet at gunpoint during a robbery at a Brooklyn T-Mobile store last week, police said Tuesday as they released video of a suspect.

The robbery took place last Thursday evening inside of the T-Mobile store at Avenue X and West 1st Street in Gravesend.


A man with a gun entered the store just before 8 p.m. and forced multiple customers, including the child, into a closet, according to police.
