BED-STUY – Police are looking for two men in connection with a gunpoint robbery that took place the night of Saturday, August 12.

A verbal dispute between three men involved in a minor traffic accident took a serious turn when one of the men flashed a gun before he and a friend forced their victim into a nearby deli, said police. Inside Miraflores Deli, at 45 Rockaway Ave, they made the 53-year old victim withdraw $440 from an ATM.

The two men then fled in an unknown direction, said police. The suspects can be seen in photos taken from security footage in the deli below:
