Queens man robbed shot in home during iPhone sale

QUEENS, N.Y. (WABC) -- A 24-year-old man selling iPhones from his Queens home was shot in the arms during a robbery.

The victim arranged to sell an iPhone to his attackers after a telephone conversation and a posting on Craigslist. The two men arrived at the home on 159th Street around 11 p.m. last night. The victim allowed them inside his home, then one of the men pulled out a gun and demanded the iPhone.

A suspect grabbed the iPhone out of the victim's hand, took a bag of 10 more iPhones from the living room table, and fled.

The victim ran after them and while chasing the two, was shot twice, once in each arm. He was taken to New York Hospital Queens and is stable.

The suspects fled in a dark colored vehicle last seen northbound on 159th Street. No weapon was recovered.

Both men, in their early 20s, were described as about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 160 pounds. One was wearing a black shirt and baseball cap, the other was wearing a dark T-shirt.
