- Amanda Woods

A crook held a frightened Bronx barber shop worker at gunpoint before bolting from the store with $2,000, according to video released by cops Friday.

The suspect walked into the Sport Barber Shop on Commonweal­th Avenue near Randall Avenue in Clason Point around 10 a.m. July 14 while two male cohorts stood by the door as lookouts, cops said.

The gunman then pointed his gun at a 54-year-old worker and demanded, “Give me the money right now!” cops said.

Video shows the suspect holding the worker at gunpoint as the victim waved his hand and stepped back, before handing over the wad of cash.

The trio took off, heading north on Commonweal­th Avenue. No injuries were reported.

The gunman is around 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds.
