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.

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.
