EAST WILLIAMSBURG — A man was robbed at gunpoint behind Grand Street Campus High Schools in East Williamsburg last week, police said.

The victim, 22, was walking north on Bushwick Avenue near Maujer Street on Saturday, July 11 at about 1:30 a.m. when two teens approached him from behind and put a gun to his head, police said.

The teens forced the victim to walk behind Grand Street Campus and told him to "run your pockets," police said.

They then took the victim's Samsung Galaxy S5, police said.

One teen was described as about 16 years old and 5-foot-7, who was last seen wearing blue jeans, white sneakers and a blue shirt. The other was about 16 years old and 5-foot-8, who was last seen wearing blue shorts, white sneakers and a red shirt.

Police are investigating the incident.
