GREAT KILLS — Police are asking for the public's help in finding a suspect involved in a robbery at simulated gunpoint on May 5, 2012.

According to police, the suspect approached a man, 20, at the intersection of Arthur Kill Road and Richmond Avenue at 10:25 p.m.

The suspect, simulating a firearm, demanded the victim give up his personal property, police said, then fled the location on foot.

Police released a video on Friday in which the goatee-sporting suspect, described as a male in his 20s, 5-foot-7, weighing 160 pounds, appears to make menacing faces at the surveillance camera.

Police ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or by logging onto the website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
