New video captures the moment armed thieves threatened a Christian Louboutin worker at knifepoint and swiped six pricey bags from the West Village store this week.

The two men entered the designer store at Horatio and Greenwich streets around 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, cops said. 

One of the men started snatching bags off the display shelves, while the other wandered to the back, according to the clip, released by police early Thursday. 

He is shown quickly flashing a knife, with cops saying he threatened a worker at the ritzy shop. 

He then returned to the front of the store and joined his accomplice as they snatched more bags. 

The pair left the shop with six bags, worth a total of $10,420, cops said. No one was hurt.

One of the suspects fled east on Horatio Street, and the other headed west on the same block, police said. 

The duo is still on the lam.
