A pair of EMS workers were robbed at gunpoint in Brooklyn after being lured to a Brownsville apartment by a bogus 911 call, officials said Wednesday.

The 28-year-old woman and 46-year-old man were at 365 Sackman St. in Brownsville responding to a call of a person “having difficulty breathing” at about 11 p.m. Monday, officials said. 

The robber was wearing all black with a black mask when he pulled out a gun and demanded their bag as they got off an elevator on the 11th floor, cops said. 

The duo, who were working for Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, handed over the case and the robber fled.

An FNDY spokesman confirmed the call for help was phony.

The canvas bag was found outside the building later, but the radio and tablet that were inside were not recovered, officials said. There were no immediate arrests.

Officials could not immediately say whether they believed the paramedics were lured there specifically to rob them.
