A restaurant deliveryman was robbed at gunpoint while working in the Bronx, police say.
The incident happened on Nov. 20 inside the vestibule of 3544 Dekalb Ave. near East 212th Street in Norwood around 1 a.m.
The 54-year-old restaurant worker was making a delivery to the building when he was forced inside at gunpoint by a suspect.
