Man punched, shot during attempted robbery at Bronx barbershop

Police are looking for three suspects who attempted to rob a victim at a Bronx barbershop Sunday night and shot the victim after he resisted.

On Jan. 16 at 7:20 p.m. the suspects entered the Hair Pros Barber & Beauty Salon at 3563 Boston Rd. and approached the victim, demanding property, according to cops.

The man resisted which led one of the suspects to punch him and another took out a firearm and shot him once in his right arm, police said.

Emergency personnel responded and transported the victim to a local hospital in stable condition.

Police have released surveillance video of the three suspects, who are each described to be light skin black men between 20 to 30 years old.

According to authorities, one of the suspects has a thin build and was last seen wearing a white shirt, white pants, white sneakers and a red, white and blue ski cap with stars. This suspect can be seen in the video, taking out the gun from his pocket and examining it.

The second suspect was last seen wearing a dark green jacket with a fur-lined hood, blue jeans and black sneakers. The third suspect was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, and black and white sneakers.

Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS. Tipsters can text information via 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577, too.
