Police from two North Queens precincts are looking for three suspects who beat and robbed two men five days apart in recent weeks.

The first incident occurred on the night of Friday, Feb. 14, in the confines of the 109th Precinct in Flushing. Two of the suspects arranged to meet with a 34-year-old victim at Barclay Avenue and Kissena Boulevard at 7 p.m. to exchange currency. One of the robbers blasted the man in his eyes with pepper spray, and they both punched and kicked him multiple times in the face, causing a broken nose and lacerations to his face, police said. They forcibly removed his bag containing a cell phone and $8,000 in cash, according to an NYPD spokesman. The duo ran off, traveling southbound on Kissena Boulevard toward Sanford Avenue. EMS responded to the crime scene and transported the injured victim to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
