Surveillance video showed a pair of thieves in the Bronx walking off with a single mother’s belongings after a robbery in which she said one of the suspect held a gun to her 3-year-old son’s head. NBC New York’s Ida Siegal reports.
Police are looking for robbery suspects who held a mother and toddler at gunpoint -- at one point pointing the weapon at the 3-year-old's head -- in the lobby of their New York City apartment building a day ago, authorities said Thursday.
The pair were inside their Bronx building, near Sedgwick Avenue and West Kingsbridge Road in Kingsbridge Heights, around 8:20 a.m. Wednesday when the suspects flashed a firearm, officials say.
First, they pointed the gun at the torso of the 35-year-old mother. Then they pointed it at her son's head.
