    it was much later then 10:30, and they did not came out of a car, they paseed by and they parked the car far away and they walked back to make the holdup, they put the gun to his heart and demanded money, he said he has no money and they took off his coat and checked his pockets, when they saw that he indeed does not carry any money they fled to their car, btw this yingerman is not 30 years old he is abt 20 he married last year and just had a baby this week, it was on the way home from the “zuchar”, btw itsnot regular seven springs it was on mountain rd/seven springs after TAITCH CT. on the way to the summer bungallow colonies, he was on the way to his shvers house when it happaned.
