The robber snatched the unsuspecting woman's phone while shoving her to the ground inside the JC Tires Shop near Rockaway Parkway and Avenue N around 8:40 am in Canarsie, according to the NYPD. The stranger then repeatedly kicked her and whipped out a firearm, aiming it at the woman while verbally threatening her. Her attacker - last seen wearing a green jacket, camouflage-colored pants, black hat and black facemask hanging off his chin - then took off, traveling southbound on Rockaway Parkway.

Six people are wanted in connection with a robbery last month in Brooklyn in which a 50-year-old man was beaten with an iron stick and had about $800 stolen, the NYPD said Thursday. The incident occurred on Friday, July 4, at approximately 4:30 a.m. in front of 827 59th Street, a residential building on the border of Borough Park and Sunset Park.
