NYPD Hunts Suspects After Knifepoint Robbery At NYC Spa Leaves Multiple Injured

BROOKLYN, NY — A brazen knifepoint robbery at a Brooklyn spa early Sunday left police searching for three suspects, officials said.

The violent attack unfolded around 3:22 a.m. at 772 57th St., between 7th and 8th Avenues, according to the NYPD. Investigators said the three men entered the 24-hour spa posing as customers, asked about prices, and then suddenly pulled out knives, ordering multiple people to lie face down on the floor.

Police said the trio then punched and kicked the victims as they lay on the floor before taking personal belongings and making off with the cash register, which contained an undisclosed amount of money.

After ransacking the spa, the suspects fled on foot in an unknown direction. Police said, surprisingly, that no serious injuries were reported among the victims.

No arrests have been made, and an investigation is ongoing.

On Tuesday, police released surveillance photos of the suspects.

Anyone with information was asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X @NYPDTips.
