Shocking moment man is held up at gunpoint while getting hair cut in New York barbershop

This is the shocking moment a man getting his haircut was robbed at gunpoint in a New York City barbershop.

The New York City Police Department released the footage showing a man sitting in a barber’s chair wearing a smock as a man in a hoodie holds a gun to his neck.

Another man, who appears to be a barber, paces casually around the pair as the scene unfolds.

According to CBS New York, the robbery happened on October 14 in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of Williamsburg.

Police said a 30-year-old man was getting his haircut when a man pointed a gun at him and demanded he hand over his valuables.

The victim handed over $350 in cash (£272) along with his credit cards and cellphone.

According to police, the victim said he thought the suspect spotted him when he parked his BMW nearby.
