Philadelphia police are seeking these two suspects in connection with a Nov. 20 robbery in South Philadelphia.
Philadelphia police are trying to identify two suspects in a robbery assault in South Philadelphia earlier this week.
Two males were captured on surveillance video on Sunday as they stalked the victim, a 39-year-old man, and a friend, a 23-year-old man, on the 2600 block of South Beulah Street and the 700 block of Oregon Avenue, according to police.
