Police released photos of the two louts they suspect robbed a guy at gunpoint on Ovington Avenue and then escaped in the victim’s car on July 11.

The pair pulled handguns on their victim between Third and Fourth avenues in Bay Ridge at 7:55 pm and demanded his wallet and keys, police said. The victim complied, and the duo fled in his black 2010 Toyota Camry, according to a police report. The car was recovered on Banner Avenue in Brighton Beach just 20 minutes later at 8:15 pm, law enforcement sources said. The police report did not note the car’s condition, cops said.

The victim was not injured, officials said.

Police describe the first assailant as a 20-year-old male standing 5-foot-7 and weighing 220 pounds. The second was a male about 28 years old standing 6-foot-1 and weighing 220 pounds, police said.
