Search for suspects after FedEx worker robbed while delivering package in the Bronx
SPUYTEN DUYVIL, Bronx (WABC) -- New York City police are searching for the suspects who robbed a FedEx worker in the Bronx.
The incident happened Sept. 30 just after 5 p.m. on Palisade Avenue.
The NYPD says the 54-year-old victim was delivering a package when two suspects approached him and stole a package before getting away in a car northbound on Palisade Avenue.
The victim suffered minor injuries but was not taken to the hospital.
The first suspect is described as having a slim build and was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.
The second suspect was described as having a medium build and was last seen wearing a gray and black mask, a gray sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and black and white sneakers.
In August, a driver making a delivery in Co-op City had a package forcibly removed from his hands, but he was not injured.
Then on Tuesday in Knightsbridge, a driver was thrown against a wall in a building and a package was ripped from his hands.
In both incidents in the past week, the drivers were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Police are asking anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
