Violent masked gunman and baby-faced partner in crime rob 3 New York bars: cops

A masked robber and his baby-faced accomplice robbed people in Manhattan in three violent pre-dawn incidents, police said Wednesday.

The two thugs first targeted a 60-year-old man who was sitting on a bench on platform no. 6 southbound from Bleecker Street around 5 a.m. Oct. 10, authorities said.

They punched and kicked the victim in the head before snatching about $65 from his pants pocket, police said.

The callous crooks then headed into the city center – before accosting a 56-year-old man who was traveling on a train no. 2 southbound approaching Fulton Street around 4:30 that morning, troopers said.
