BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A woman was robbed at gunpoint in Bed-Stuy this week, and police say they're looking for four men and one woman in connection with the crime.

The 26-year-old victim was walking on Pulaski Street near Tompkins Avenue about 9 p.m. on Tuesday when she was approached by two people, one of whom flashed a gun, police said.

The two made the woman lie on the ground before running off with her purse and iPhone, leaving the woman uninjured, police said.

The five people wanted for questioning were seen following the victim before the crime and fleeing the scene afterwards, according to police. The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspects on Thursday.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
