Detectives are on the hunt for two women who pepper-sprayed and robbed men in the Bronx last month.
According to police sources, both incidents unfolded mere hours apart within a three-block area across the street from the Bronx Zoo, in the confines of the 48th Precinct.
Cops say the first attack took place just before 7 p.m. on Oct. 16 near Bryant Avenue and Bronx Park South. In this incident, two women approached a 26-year-old man and pepper-sprayed him.
Both perpetrators then made off with the man’s cellphone, cash, and jewelry. Police reported that the robbers fled on foot, traveling westbound on Bryant Avenue. The victim refused medical treatment on scene.
The NYPD said the second assault occurred at around 1:44 a.m. on Oct. 17 near the corner of Honeywell Avenue and Bronx Park So
