NEW YORK CITY, NY – The New York City Police Department is requesting the public’s help in identifying an individual related to a robbery in Brooklyn.

On Saturday, at around 1 am, a 30-year-old male Uber driver operating a 2017 black Toyota Camry was rear-ended at the intersection of Columbia Street and West 9th Street by an unidentified male in a white Dodge Ram.

Upon exiting their vehicles to inspect the damage, the suspect brandished a firearm and forced the victim onto the sidewalk, fleeing the scene in the victim’s vehicle.
