The NYPD is looking for a pair of crooks who shot a deli customer during a robbery in Brooklyn.

Authorities say that at 9:47 p.m. on Dec. 16, two unknown men entered the 4 Seasons Deli, located at 335 Vernon Avenue, and approached a 27-year-old male customer. The first suspect pulled out a black firearm and demanded the customer’s property.

After a brief struggle, the suspect shot the firearm, striking the customer in his left hip. The first suspect fled the scene on foot while the second suspect fled in a silver or gray Chrysler 300, which was parked in front of the deli.

The victim was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/Kings County in stable condition.

The NYPD released a surveillance video taken of the suspects:

The first suspect is described as a man with a medium build who was last seen wearing a full white mask, a black jacket and hoodie, white gloves, light colored blue jeans, black sneakers and in possession of a black firearm. The second suspect is described as a man with a slim build who was last seen wearing a black mask, a black jacket with a brown fur-rimmed hood, black pants with white stripe on each side and black and white sneakers.
