HARLEM — An overnight parking garage attendant was robbed at gunpoint in Harlem Tuesday morning, according to police.

Victor Juan Osario, 58, said he was working the overnight shift at a parking garage at 316 W. 118th Street when two men and a woman jumped out of a van just after 4 a.m.

One man put a gun to his head and forced him to the ground, said a visibly shaken Osario. Osario said it was the first time he'd been robbed since he began working at the parking garage in 1991.

The three robbers got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

One of the robbers was captured on video by a surveillance camera at the scene. The man appears to be in his 20s or 30s with a blue shirt, jeans and black bowler hat on and can be seen on the tape holding a gun.

No arrests have been made and an investigation is underway, according to police.
