Daylight Gunpoint Rob Just Steps From UES Michelin Eatery: Police

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A brazen daylight stickup by a pair of gun-toting crooks left a man with a slightly lighter wrist.

The dangerous wristwatch theft occurred Tuesday evening at about 5:10 p.m. when two men — one donning a black ski mask — flashed a pistol at a person walking on Park Avenue near East 65th Street, only steps away from the Michelin-starred restaurant, Daniel.

After taking the man's watch, for which the police had no description of estimated value or type, the duo fled south on Park Avenue, an official said.

No injured were reported, according to the NYPD.

Police offered scant descriptions of the thieves, other than the victim claimed that both appeared to have dark complexions and that one wore a ski mask.

No surveillance images have been released and police say the investigation is ongoing.

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).
