Police are asking the public's help in identifying two men who allegedly attacked and robbed a food delivery man in a Bronx building elevator late last month.
According to police, a 40-year-old man was making a food delivery on May 31 at around 1 p.m. inside an apartment building on Bush Street in the Mount Hope section of the Bronx.
