BROOKLYN — A man delivering food in Boerum Hill was robbed at knifepoint — and still managed to deliver the meal after the ordeal, police said.

The 44-year-old victim was on Pacific Street between Nevins and Bond streets when he was approached by an unknown group of suspects on Aug. 2 at about 5:45 a.m.

The suspects displayed a knife and threatened the delivery man, demanding that he hand over his cash, food "and don't say anything," according to the report. 

The group fled with $200 in electronics and $90 in cash. 

The victim's employer told police the man was delivering food to an address on Pacific Street. According to the report, he was uninjured and completed the delivery after the robbery.
