Police confirmed the bodega located on Broadway and 89th St. was targeted by thiev es around 6:48 p.m. Hassan Al-Sufyani, 22, was working the register at 89 Convenience Mart when a man entered claiming to be a cop and demanding to search the place, the worker said.

He called one of his boys and the other guy comes running. I pushed them both out. We were fighting for a minute.” Al-Sufyani said the second thief started looting UPS packages from the deli, which serves as a drop-off point for deliveries, while he was busy fighting off the crook with the gun. “I was looking for something to hit them with, but I couldn’t find nothing,” said Al-Sufyani. “I’m not a hero, I just try to be.” In the end, Al-Sufyani drove off the bandits, who only managed to grab two small packages.
