NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 22-year-old woman was punched in the face and robbed at gunpoint as she left her apartment in Brooklyn in the middle of the afternoon, police said Wednesday as they released images of three suspects.

The trio ambushed the victim as she headed out of her apartment at Linden Boulevard and Rogers Avenue in Flatbush around 1:30 p.m. last Thursday.

The men brandished guns and a knife as they forced their way into the home and demanded money from her, police said.
