STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.— Police are seeking the public’s assistance identifying three females sought for questioning after what’s being described as a bizarre robbery incident in the Bronx on August 12.
It was reported to police that two males, ages 37 and 38, were allegedly approached by three individuals who pulled a knife and “removed clothing items” from the victims, according to a written statement by the city’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.
The suspects fled the scene on foot, while the victims refused medical attention at the scene, police said.
