HARLEM — Police are looking for an armed man who carried out a weeklong crime spree in Harlem.

Jamal Williams, 34, started his spree on Sept. 13 at Lexington Avenue and East 121st Street where he pointed a gun in a man's face and demanded his driver's license, police said.

Three days later, Williams tried to hold up another victim at 15 West 139th St. but was unsuccessful, police said. 

On Sept. 17, the suspect robbed a victim of an iPhone and $20 at Fifth Avenue and 138th Street. Two days later he stole a Samsung Galaxy phone and Beats headphones from a victim at 50 West 139th St., an NYPD spokesman said.

In each robbery, the suspect would point a gun at the victim's face before stealing the items. None of the victims were injured during the robberies, the spokesman added.

Police asked anyone with information about the incidents to call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-577-8477. All tips are confidential.
