UPPER WEST SIDE — Police are looking for three robbers they say pulled a gun on a Riverside Park jogger and then attempted to hold up a bike deliveryman.
A 24-year-old man was jogging in Riverside Park near West 90th Street when he was approached by three people who showed him a gun and then took his iPhone 5S and other property on March 6 at 9:35 p.m.
The individuals, two of whom are male, then fled north on Riverside Drive, police said.
The gender of the third individual is not known, police said.
About 15 minutes later, the three individuals attempted to rob a 28-year-old bike deliveryman in front of 252 West 91st St., near Broadway, police said. As the deliveryman unlocked his bike, the individuals displayed a gun and tried to take his cash, police said.
The individuals fled north on Broadway and then east on West 92nd Street without any of the deliveryman's property, police said.
No one was hurt in either incident, police said.
One of the men is described as wearing gray sweatpants, a red Nike hooded sweatshirt, a black jacket and black sneakers, police said. The second man is described as wearing black jeans, a dark hooded sweater, a black jacket and black sneakers.
Police could not provide a description of the third person involved in the robberies.
