LONG ISLAND CITY — Police are looking for a man who tried to rob two women in Queens last month, hitting them over the head after they refused to give him cash.

The man approached the women, ages 37 and 22, as they were walking near 40th Avenue and Ninth Street roughly 6 a.m. on Oct. 28 and demanded they hand over their bags and money, according to police.

When the victims refused, the man hit them both in the head with an unknown object. He then fled the scene empty-handed, police said.

The two victims got cuts on their foreheads but were not hospitalized for their injuries, according to the NYPD.
