Duo Shoots Man With BB Guns In Brooklyn Subway Attack: Cops

BROOKLYN, NY — Police are asking the public's help to find a duo who shot a man with BB guns during a mugging on the subway last week.

The pair came up to a 60-year-old man on an N train just after midnight on Thursday, demanding he hand over his property while one of them held a BB gun, according to police.

When the man refused, the attacker without the gun started punching him in the face, eventually taking out his own BB gun, police said. Both of the suspects shot the man with their BB guns before grabbing his wallet and running off the train at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station, police said.

The duo were last seen walking down Pacific Street, according to police.

The 60-year-old man was taken to the hospital with lacerations to his face. Police said the stolen wallet had $30 in cash and the man's debit card inside.

They described the attackers as standing 5'8" to 5'9" tall. One was last seen wearing a black hooded sweater and gray pants and the second was in a black mask, a blue hooded sweater and black pants.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
