The victims then tried to flee their attackers, but were met with force when the suspects stabbed one of them in the back and in the hand. The suspect then stole $800 along with a suitcase filled with marijuana and fled the scene north on 33rd Street, according to DNAinfo.
The victim who was stabbed was taken to hospital and was marked as being in critical but stable condition.
The suspects, both wanted by police, are between 20 and 25 years of age. One can be seen wearing a dark long sleeved shirt and dark pants and shoes, while his accomplice was in a gray T-shirt and dark pants.
