Police in the Bronx are asking for the public's help tracking down a robber they say used a fake online dating profile to dupe his victim.

Investigators say an 18-year-old man went to an apartment building on East 181st street in Belmont back on March 25 expecting to meet a woman he met on a dating website.

Instead, he found the man seen here brandishing a taser, who robbed him of his iPhone before running away.

Police obtained pictures of the man from a different account on the same dating site.
