Cops are looking for two men who tried to rob a pizza deliveryman on a Brooklyn street this week and pushed him into the path of a vehicle that then ran him over.
The NYPD released on Feb. 26 images of the perpetrators involved in the caper, which took place at 12:55 a.m. on Feb. 23 near the Pink Houses public housing complex at 1259 Loring Ave.
According to authorities, the 21-year-old deliveryman came to the location to complete a transaction with the two suspects, who then refused to pay him. The victim then proceeded to enter his car when, cops said, the crooks came up from behind and attacked him.
Police said a physical struggle ensued, during which the victim fell into the street. Seconds later, the victim was run over by a passing vehicle.
Cops reported that the suspects then ran into a Pink Houses building. The passing vehicle stopped, and the driver remained at the scene until police arrived.
Paramedics rushed the injured deliveryman to NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County in serious but stable condition with multiple internal injuries, facial bruises and oral/dental fractures.
Security cameras inside the Pink Houses captured the suspects’ images.
