The police are looking for two suspects who robbed a 26-year-old man at gunpoint on a subway train in Kew Gardens just after midnight Thursday morning.
The suspects, two men, approached the victim while he was riding a southbound F train as it approached the Union Turnpike-Kew Gardens subway station at around 12:30 a.m., police said.
The assailants then pulled out a gun and demanded the straphanger hand over his property, police said.
The perpetrators allegedly stole the victim’s backpack, his cellphone, some clothing and around $800, the NYPD said.
They then fled the train when it stopped at the Union Turnpike-Kew Gardens station, police said.
Police released images Monday of the suspects wanted for questioning.

One of the perpetrators was wearing a gray-colored hoody while the second suspect had a camouflage hoody with the word Lakers emblazoned across the front.
