Police are seeking a man they believe is responsible for two consecutive muggings on a recent weekend, one on the Sunset Park/Dyker Heights border and another in Gowanus.

The first incident occurred on Saturday, March 07, at around 2:20am when the suspect flashed a gun to his victim in front of 849 54th Street and demanded money, cops said. The suspect then reached into the victim’s pocket, removed his wallet and $760 and fled on foot.

A half hour later, at 2:50am, police believe the perp struck again, this time approaching a 35-year-old man as he was parking his car in his driveway on 47th street. Again, the suspect displayed a firearm and demanded money. The victim handed over $60 and the suspect ran off.

The suspect is described as male, 5 feet 7 inches in height, 150 pounds, and wearing all black, with a mask. Police have released surveillance footage of the suspect.
