The NYPD is looking for a knife-wielding man wanted for a robbery that took place in the Bronx earlier this month.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 7:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 13, in front of 2384 Grand Concourse. The victim, a 34-year-old man, allegedly arranged to meet the suspect via Facebook Marketplace to purchase a chain.
When the two met, the suspect displayed a knife and forcibly took the chain from the victim’s hand. The alleged thief then fled the scene in a gray Honda Accord, heading northbound on Grand Concourse.
The victim was not injured during the incident.
The suspect is described as a male with a medium build and a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a white baseball cap, a black t-shirt, black jeans, and white sneakers.
The NYPD has released images of the suspect and is urging anyone with information regarding the suspect’s identity or whereabouts to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
