Police are asking for help in identifying a group that robbed two men, stealing the designer sneakers right off one victim’s feet.
Video from the Aug. 12 robbery shows the two victims, 40 and 36, standing on Franklin Ave. by E. 169th St. in Morrisania about 1:10 a.m. when three men flank them, one of them carrying what looks like a gun.
The victims immediately comply with the men, offering up their money, their jewelry and a phone.
One of the victims lets one robber take all the cash out of his wallet. The other victim steps out of his yellow sneakers so the robbers can take them.
As the mugging goes on, a passerby crosses the street, walks up to the men, then quickly turns and walks away.
The robbers fled in two cars that went north on Franklin Ave.
Cops are asking anyone with information to step forward.
