Investigators released surveillance images late Wednesday of two suspects in the gunpoint robbery of an aide to Mayor Eric Adams.
The 33-year-old victim, believed to be a member of the mayor’s press team, was walking near York Street and Hudson Avenue around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when two muggers shoved him to the ground, according to police.
The robbers, one of whom displayed a gun, snatched the victim’s wallet and two cellphones, then fled into the nearby Farragut Houses development, authorities said. Police have previously said that one of the crooks fled on a Citi Bike. Officials said that the victim declined medical attention.
In a statement after the incident, mayoral Press Secretary Fabien Levy said that the mugging underscores the need to get guns and criminals off of city streets.

“As the mayor said today, he wants results as quickly as possible, and while we have seen progress over the last few months — taking more than 3,000 guns off the streets and reducing shootings and homicides by double digits — there is no overnight fix,” Levy continued. “New York City employees are city residents, and we will do everything in our power to keep all New Yorkers safe.”

I hate to say this, but good.
Time for the RATs to experience the results of their own policies.
Their mask disguise didn’t work
Look like a couple of yoooots!
Oh noes, dey black. Racist to release this.
“Levy said that the mugging underscores the need to get guns...”
He almost has a good partial solution.
Those guns need to be condemned for disguising themselves as black humans!
No guns , they move to machetes or knives , then it gets messy
if only there were several 1000 laws against crimes- this would never have happened-
Oh look. All units be on the lookout for two men.
I totally agree.
If NYC had just ONE law making mugging a crime, this would never happen.
Damn that Trump & Putin!
“there is no overnight fix”
Liberals say that about EVERY problem they cause.
Of course there is a quick fix — just bring Giuliani back as a consultant. He’ll show NYC the quick fix, but they won’t like it. The answer is not “get guns off the street.”
How dare you assume their gender! Why you...troglodyte!
Hey they just got out of jail and needed a grubstake
Oh look. All units be on the lookout for two black men, dressed in black."
Those damn guns sneaking out again and robbing people?
“The answer is not “get guns off the street.””
The partial answer is for the Good Guys to get peacekeeping guns.
Bet you if they catch these guys, this is one case where they WON’T be released the same day on zero bail.
Gotta have special treatment for the special people, or why run a corruptocracy at all?
