Parkgoers beware.

Gun-toting thugs terrorized Central Park late Thursday — robbing six people at gunpoint across four separate incidents, police said.

The alarming muggings unfolded over about an hour along East Drive, with the suspects targeting unsuspecting parkgoers for their cellphones.

Cops have not yet confirmed if all of the robberies were committed by the same group, police were still investigating the crimes Friday.

The first holdup was reported around 8:41 p.m. near East 79th Street and East Drive, cops said.

A 28-year-old man told officers he was approached by three unknown males, one of whom flashed a gun before snatching his cellphone.

The trio then pedaled away on bicycles, heading east through the park, police said.

About 50 minutes later, a 46-year-old man was robbed near East 109th Street and East Drive, according to cops.

He said three males approached him and one displayed a firearm before grabbing his phone.

Just 15 minutes after that, police were called to East 106th Street and East Drive for two more robberies.

A 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman told cops they were confronted by three males, including one who displayed a gun.

The suspects took both of their phones.

At the same location, two 43-year-old men flagged down cops and said three males had also just pulled a gun on them and stole their cellphones, police said.

The suspects fled east toward Fifth Avenue after the final robberies, according to police.
