BROOKLYN — A gunman and his masked accomplice held up a bodega in Brownsville Wednesday afternoon, shoving customers and threatening staffers, video shows.

In the video, which the NYPD released Thursday morning, one of the men who was wearing a mask shoved a 63-year-old patron into a corner of the the Sutter Express Deli at 361 Sutter Ave., near Mother Gaston Boulevard, about 4:50 p.m.

Meanwhile, the second man, who wasn't wearing a mask, pointed his gun at a 24-year-old clerk across the counter who threw up his hands, video shows.

The clerk handed over $550 before the pair of thieves fled the scene, police said.

The pair, who are described as being about 5 feet 6 inches and 150 pounds, hadn't been arrested as of Thursday morning, police said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
