The police are hoping the public can help them find a man accused of robbing two young people in a Brooklyn park last month.

According to the NYPD, at 1 a.m. on June 18th, a 20-year-old man and 21-year-old woman were in Fort Greene Park when they were approached by a man who had a gun. The gun-wielding man told them to stand up and give him all their property, and the victims complied, giving him "an Apple iPhone, debit & credit cards, metro cards and an undetermined amount of money."

Police released a photo of the suspect, who is described as being about 20 years old. Anyone with information in regards to this robbery is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
