Cops are looking for two men who allegedly attacked and robbed an employee over the weekend inside an internet cafe in Sunset Park.

According to authorities, at around 1:20 a.m. on Saturday, April 6, the two crooks entered an internet cafe on 57th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, approached a 29-year-old man who worked there and sprayed him with a chemical substance before handcuffing him.

The duo then stole $600 from the cash register and $500 from the victim’s wallet before fleeing the scene.

The man sustained minor injuries.

Cops say one of the suspects is an Asian male in his early twenties with a large build. He was last seen wearing a light colored, hooded sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers.

The second suspect is also described as an Asian male in his early twenties, but with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a light colored, hooded shirt and light colored pants.

Anyone with information in regard to the identities of the males is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
