The police are hoping the public can help them identify two suspects in a brutal robbery that occurred in the Midwood section of Brooklyn on Sunday.

According to the NYPD, on July 27th at around 9:40 p.m., an 18-year-old woman was heading into her apartment building. Security camera video shows two males following her inside and into an elevator, but the woman tries to leave before the elevator doors closed=. That's when the two suspects grab her, drag her into the hallway and hold her down as they punch and kick her. They fled after taking her purse.

Police released video of the assault—you can see one suspect throwing the purse away (they kept the iPhone and wallet):

One of the suspects is described as being 20-25 years old, wearing a black t-shirt and multi-colored pants, while the other is described as being in his late teens to early 20s, approximately 240 pounds, wearing an orange t-shirt, beige shorts and a backpack.

A neighbor told PIX 11, "Security is not one hundred percent. Weekends there is no doorman and weekdays there is only one until nine." PIX11 adds, "The front door of the building is open, the inner door in the lobby is locked at all times."
