Police are searching for two men who tried to rob a Flatbush barber shop at gunpoint on Friday, according to police reports.

Two men stormed Nostrand Legend’s, a barbershop at 1402 Nostrand Avenue near Linden Boulevard on January 6 at 8pm, cops said. The first suspect brandished a silver gun and demanded money, darting around the shop. The second man struggled to rip a gold chain off an employee’s neck.

After a brief struggle both men fled the scene without stealing anything, according to police. The assaulted employee sustained a minor head injury and refused medical attention at the scene.
