Albany Police are investigating a robbery that occurred last evening on South Pearl Street.

On Friday, June 19, 2026 around 7:00 p.m., an eighteen-year-old female victim and a nineteen-year-old male victim walked into Albany Police Department’s South Station Lobby to report a robbery that occurred in the area of South Pearl Street and South Ferry Street.

Further investigation determined that the victims were approached near their vehicle by two male suspects, who forcibly stole a cell phone belonging to one of the victims. During the incident, the female victim was slashed on the arm with a knife, and the male victim was punched in the face prior to the suspects fleeing the scene.

Detectives have determined that at least one of the suspects was known to one of the victims, and information gathered during the investigation indicates the incident was not random.

Both of the victims were treated at South Station by the Albany Fire Department and emergency medical personnel.

At this time the investigation remains ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Albany Police Detective Division at (518) 462-8039.

100% anonymous tips may also be submitted online to the Capital Region Crime Stoppers at www.capitalregioncrimestoppers.com or by downloading the free P3 Tips mobile app.
