The NYPD is asking for the public’s help in searching for two men who they said are responsible for a pattern of robberies in the Bronx and Manhattan.

Authorities said around 4 a.m. on Dec. 5, the suspects wore all black and walked into the 24-hour McDonald’s located at 1745 University Ave. in Morris Heights.

The two men allegedly approached a 24-year-old woman, pushed her against a wall, pulled out a gun and threatened her – then the pair attempted to take money from the register.

Police said the suspects didn’t get any cash, but they got away.

Some people in Morris Heights told News 12 that they’re not surprised.

“Things like that tend to happen,” said Milton Mccarroll, of Morris Heights. “It’s not like it should happen, but it happens.”

Police said the two suspects are also connected to a robbery on Dec. 4 at a Manhattan smoke shop located at 3407 Broadway.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). All calls are strictly confidential.
