A 47-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint inside his Flatbush apartment Wednesday night, police said.

Police sources tell News 12 the man was waiting for a person he met on a dating app, at his home on East 21st Street.

But when he opened the door shortly before 9 p.m., two men dressed in all black with face masks forced their way inside.

The men held a gun to the victim’s head and ordered him to lie face down on the floor, according to police sources.

They tried to tie him up, but he resisted. One of the attackers then kicked him several times.

The pair stole some of his personal property before running away.

The victim was taken to the hospital with injuries and in stable condition.

No arrests have been made, and police are still searching for the two robbers.

Tenants in the building said they were stunned to learn what happened.

“That’s terrifying. That’s really scary,” one tenant said.

Some also raised ongoing safety concerns, saying they’ve reported issues to management in the past.

“From a safety perspective, I think that the building could be doing a lot more for us,” one tenant who asked to stay anonymous said. "We’ve reported issues with packages being stolen."

Residents said they have asked the landlord to change the building’s access code because too many non-residents can get inside. One tenant said those concerns have gone unanswered.

News 12 has reached out to the building’s management but has not heard back.

Damn times have changed. Normally it’ll be the nikkas on 21st doing the robbing back in the day. They used to call that stretch of 21st from Newkirk to Caton “21 Jump Street because your ass was liable to get into some shyt with police or the crews back then. Sad, my guy just wanted a little trim and they lined his ass up

Several times a year I see these stories of dudes getting robbed and set up by chicks they match with on apps

Sometimes they don't even need a woman involved , they just steal some girl's IG pics and pretend to be them.

Dudes then be inviting them straight to their apartment.

Your post reminds me of those posters on City Data :pachaha: For some reason posters on CD were scared in the Block in Flatbush called Regent Place :mjlol:



Regent Place is that block across the street from Staples on Flatbush Ave.
Flatbush?
Flatbush Brooklyn?

What were they gonna steal?

A ludo board?
Half a loaf of hard dough bread?
Some used Clarks?
Is this a quote from a movie?
