QUEENS — Police are looking for three suspects they said stole a man’s cellphone at gunpoint in Jamaica last month.

The men approached the 40-year-old victim on April 18 around 7:30 p.m. in front of 109-21 156th St., near 109th Avenue, authorities said.

One of the suspects flashed a gun and demanded the victim's cellphone, police said.

The victim handed it over before the suspects fled, officials said. 

The NYPD released a video Monday showing the suspects shortly after the incident.

No arrests had been made as of Tuesday.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
