NextImg:Suspect takes tumble as armed duo robs elderly worker at NYC store: cops

A pair of thieves posing as FedEx workers robbed an elderly SoHo electronics store employee at gunpoint – and one of them took a tumble inside the shop during the crime, new video released by the NYPD shows. 

The duo showed up at the store at Canal and Mercer streets around 7:30 a.m. Friday – with at least one of them wearing a FedEx shirt – and claimed they had a package, authorities said. 

One of the suspects pistol-whipped the elderly store worker, cops said.

Once inside, one of them held a gun as he pushed a 72-year-old male employee further back in the store, the clip shows. 

His accomplice followed, but tripped and fell over a bag on the floor before quickly getting back on his feet, according to the video released Sunday night. 

Both suspects hold up the 72-year-old victim inside the electronics store.

The pair made off with $1,500 from the victim’s wallet.

The gunman held onto the victim’s jacket and struck him with the weapon before the other suspect ripped off $1,500 from his wallet, according to cops and the footage. 

The pair also tried to open a safe inside the store, but failed. 

They fled and had not been caught by Monday morning. 

The worker was treated by EMS workers at the scene.
