Police are searching for two men suspected of robbing and hitting a delivery man in the lobby of a Cortelyou Road apartment building last Tuesday.

On June 21, at approximately 9:30pm, the two perpetrators (pictured below) dashed into the lobby at 2201 Cortelyou Road at the corner of East 22nd Street, and smashed a 40-year-old delivery man on the head with a soda can, according to police reports. Once the victim was knocked to the ground, the suspects stole his cell phone, $100 in cash, and the bag of food he was delivering.
